A coalition of Rivers State leaders has urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the escalating political conflict between Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The group, led by Chief Sunnie Chukumele, warned that the situation could lead to severe conflict if not addressed promptly.

The coalition accused Wike’s allies of attempting to destabilize the government and criticized the faction of the state assembly led by Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule for trying to starve the state of funds through court actions.

They also denounced former local government chairmen who have refused to step down despite the expiration of their terms.

The group expressed concern that the federal government’s inaction on the matter was escalating tensions in the state.
