NOT Tinubu Or Court, SEE Who Will Solve Rivers Crisis, Reunite Wike And Fubara, Reconcile Divided Assembly
Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, recently commented on the ongoing political turmoil in Rivers State, emphasizing that only divine intervention can resolve the situation.
Sani took to the social media platform X to express his thoughts, stating, ” Rivers State has been left in the hands of God to solve the problem. ”
The political tension in Rivers State has been escalating since Sim Fubara took office as governor. A significant source of the conflict is the power struggle between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike. Both leaders are vying for political control, leading to a fractured political environment in the state.
The dispute has reached a point where two parallel speakers, Martin Amaewhule and Victor Oko- Jumbo, have emerged, further complicating the political landscape. This unusual situation has added to the confusion and instability within the state’ s legislative assembly.
In an attempt to mediate the crisis, President Bola Tinubu previously intervened. However, his efforts did not bring about the desired resolution. The persistent conflict has left many stakeholders and citizens concerned about the future stability of Rivers State.
Sani’ s statement reflects the frustration and helplessness felt by many who are witnessing the ongoing power struggle. His call for divine intervention underscores the complexity of the political issues at hand and the difficulty in finding a human- led solution.
In another report, Farah Dagogo, a former member of the House of Representatives and a governorship aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State for the 2023 elections, has opened up about the hardships he faced during his trial. In a recent interview with Punch, Dagogo disclosed that he was once brought to court while unconscious.
This revelation comes amid reflections on the intense political atmosphere in Rivers State. Naija News recalls that Nyesom Wike, the then- governor of Rivers State and now the FCT minister, had declared Dagogo wanted. Wike accused Dagogo of being behind a suspected cultist disturbance at the Port Harcourt secretariat of the Rivers PDP.
Dagogo’ s arrest followed shortly after this declaration. He was apprehended at the South- South Zonal Secretariat of the PDP while attending a screening for the party primaries. Despite the gravity of the charges, Dagogo maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal.
After a lengthy legal battle, Dagogo was eventually discharged and acquitted of all criminal charges. The court found no diligent prosecution, leading to his release. In his interview, Dagogo emphasized that his arrest was politically motivated, hinting at the power struggles within the state’ s political landscape.
Dagogo’ s experience highlights the turbulent nature of politics in Rivers State and underscores the challenges faced by political aspirants. His acquittal marks the end of a significant chapter in his political career, allowing him to focus on his future endeavors without the shadow of these accusations.
