Mr Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has thanked President Bola Tinubu for intervening for the second time, in Rivers political crisis.
Wike made the remarks, while reacting to the outcome of the meeting, convened by the President to resolve the lingering dispute between members of Rivers Assembly and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Tinubu had on Sunday night met with Wike, Fubara and other key political actors from Rivers, to ease the protracted political crisis in Rivers.
The minister said this while speaking with newsmen after inspecting some ongoing projects in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said this would be the last time Tinubu would intervene to resolve Rivers crisis.
The Rivers Assembly had on January 8, began the impeachment process on Fubara and his Deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu.
The impeachment process, according to the assembly members, was due to alleged gross misconduct and unconstitutional expenditure.
“All I can tell you is that Mr President has been very kind to the people of Rivers. If there is a problem between the legislators and the governor, as a father, he really has to intervene.
“I remember this is the second time the president has intervened. I believe, by the Grace of God, this will be the last time, I believe that,” he said.
Wike said that he had directed the lawmakers to do the needful and obey Mr President, saying, “I know they will not hesitate.
“I also believe that the governor will carry out his own part of the deal to make sure that this is the final time Rivers people will begin to hear this kind of discord”.
