A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dele
Momodu, has said President Bola Tinubu cannot be the headmaster of state and
Federal Government.
Momodu said Tinubu’s intervention in the crisis between
Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State and the Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike was legally absurd.
Recall that Fubara and Wike have been at
loggerheads over the control of Rivers State’s political structure and
finances.
The rift had led to lawmakers in the state Assembly
defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and some Commissioners
resigning from the Fubara-led executive council.
In a bid to resolve the crisis, Tinubu brokered a peace deal
between Wike and Fubara at the Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday.
During the meeting Tinubu issued an eight-point resolution
as part of the peace deal.
Reacting on Instagram, Momodu wrote: “The directives to
Rivers State by a Federal President is really absurd in legal terms. No
President can be a Headmaster of both State and Federal.
“What manner of democracy are we practicing that allows a
President to intervene in the internal affairs of opposition parties and
over-rules the Constitution unchallenged, and our politicians comply as if they
are in a slave camp.
“Opposition parties must vehemently oppose this brazen
attempt at forcing a one-party dictatorship on Nigeria.”

Simi Fubara: I have always seen you as a weak person. No wonder, Wike gave you power. He was sure that on reneging on any agreements, you will be booted out. Fubara is PDP, Wike is PDP, why go to APC. Tinubu, Shettima, CoS are all APC with Wike written agreement. Fubara start packing your property.
