FG Finally Reveals ‘Level Of Involvement’ In Rivers Crisis

On December 13, the federal government dismissed suggestions that it played a role in the escalating political turmoil in Rivers State, asserting that the current situation in the state is not of its making.

Responding to inquiries about the federal government’s stance on the matter, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, emphasized that the administration under President Bola Tinubu is committed to the peace and well-being of all states, including Rivers.

The political tension in Rivers State, particularly in Port Harcourt, has heightened in recent hours due to further divisions within the State House of Assembly. The assembly has been marked by a rift between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

On Monday, 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, aligned with FCT Minister Wike, defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the ruling party in the state, to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). Subsequently, on Tuesday, a Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt declared Edison Ehie, a supporter of Governor Fubara, as the Assembly Speaker. Moreover, on Wednesday, the Assembly Complex was reportedly demolished.

In response to queries about the federal government’s position, Minister Idris clarified that although Chief Wike, a party involved in the crisis, is a member of the Cabinet, the ongoing conflict is unrelated to the federal government and does not represent its official stance.

Asked whether the federal government shared Wike’s position on the matter as a member of the federal cabinet, the Information Minister said: “Well, he is a federal cabinet member; he is involved in the situation in the state. That cannot be a federal government position. How can it be the federal government’s position?

“Well, the federal government is always interested in the well being of all the states, and in that direction the federal government will always align with everyone in Nigeria to make sure that there is peace and tranquility in all parts of this country.

“But you know that what has happened in Rivers is not a creation of the federal government. It is a political problem that is brewing in the state.

“Of course, the government will ensure that there is peace and stability for all Nigerians, including River State, but you can’t say that this is a creation of the federal government. The federal government never had any hand in creating that problem”, he said.

He said: “I saw Asari Dokubo’s message. It was an advisory. He made an advisory and when you make an advisory, you allow time to see whether the person you have given the advice will look at it again and come back to you.

“That does not suggest anything. That doesn’t suggest that the federal government created that problem. It was never a creation of the federal government. It is a creation of the political situation in River state.”
