The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has expressed profound optimism that the persistent political crisis in Rivers State is nearing a final resolution following a decisive fresh intervention by President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday in Abuja after inspecting several ongoing projects in the territory, the minister underscored the president’s role as a unifying figure whose leadership was essential in addressing the friction between the state’s executive and legislative arms.
He said, “I believe that by the grace of God, this will be the last time the president will be bothered with this issue and that this will be the last time the Rivers people will need to hear this kind of discord.”
Wike emphasised the authority of the president’s counsel, noting that “the president is the father of the nation, and when a father speaks, his children must listen and do the needful to ensure peace and progress.”
