Tinubu Has Intervened In Rivers Crisis, We’ll Work With Him -Bauchi Gov
Governor Bala Muhammad of Bauchi State has announced the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to douse the current political tension in Rivers State.
He stated this yesterday while briefing State House reporters after a meeting of National Police Council presided over by the president at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Muhammad, who said the president was talking to the parties involved in the imbroglio, added that it appeared there would be peace with his intervention.
“He (President Tinubu) has shown that he is President for PDP and APC. We are going to work with him.”
The Tide learnt that Governor Simi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), met at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, yesterday.
The duo, who reportedly fell out less than six months after succession, have been in the news since the reported move of the Rivers House of Assembly to impeach the governor.
Fubara had stormed the Assembly while some lawmakers loyal to Wike were said to be planning his removal.
Addressing youths, who trooped to Government House, Port Harcourt, in solidarity with the governor, Fubara vowed to resist any impeachment attempt against him.
The governor also dared his political opponents to tell him his offence before he would be removed.
“I know how you people are feeling, just take it easy. Great Rivers State youths. Great! When we have the youth, we have power,” Fubara said.
“But the difference with our own power is we will not misuse it. We woke up this morning to a very troubling news. We have gone to the Assembly to see for ourselves what has happened.
“On my way there, I was shot at directly by the (sic) operation, or whatever they call it. But it doesn’t matter, somebody will die one day. Whether you die inside your house or on the road. So, my joy today, whatever it is that wants to happen, let it happen.
“If Siminalayi Fubara is impeached, I am not the first, neither will I be the last. What I’m saying is that any attempt that is not justified will be resisted.
