Wike reacts to Tinubu’s decision to lift emergency rule in Rivers

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for restoring democratic governance in Rivers State.

Wike said the President’s decisive action has once again demonstrated his commitment to peace, stability, and the preservation of democracy in Nigeria.

According to him, Tinubu’s earlier declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers was a proactive step that prevented further chaos and safeguarded governance in the oil-rich state.

In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the FCT Minister said the President’s intervention has further restored the confidence of the people of Rivers in his leadership.

Wike called on all stakeholders in the State to work together harmoniously in the collective interest of the State and its people.

The Minister, who cautioned troublemakers, especially fifth columnists who are always seeking to benefit from crisis to stay away from the state, added that, “From Rivers State going forward, the only news that will emanate will be that of peace, progress and development.”
