Rivers crisis: Unveiled: Fubara did not sign Tinubu’s peace deal

According to Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara did not sign the peace accord mediated by President Bola Tinubu.

There were rumors that on Monday in the Presidential Villa, during a meeting with the President, Fubara and Federal Capital Territory, or FCT, Minister Nyesom Wike signed a peace deal.

However, in a statement on Tuesday, Eze stated, “Governor Fubara didn’t sign the agreement as he signed the unwise pact with black biro instead of red biro as expected of him as a Governor so such signing has no bearing as the pact is unimplementable.”

“The document has some question mark as the whole handwritings are all same which is not possible indicating that the document was prepared before the commencement and conclusion of the meeting. Check the writing carefully in the attached document.

“All signatures were signed before Wike and Ribadu signed. Even Tony Okocha wanted to sign with the red biro.”

In a same spirit, Eze advised Fubara to hold extensive consultations prior to acting.

He declared that the terms of the peace accord were intolerable.

The statement added, “Having carefully and critically read through the truce initiated by President Tinubu to address the lingering political crisis in Rivers State, I wish to highlight that the eight point agreement is but unconstitutional, illegal, unacceptable, undemocratic, judicial abuse and a ploy to cage governance in Rivers State and buy temporary relief for Minister Nyesom Wike.

“The agreement failed woefully to address the major issues that brought up this conflict.

“Further reasons for the Rivers crisis are the criminal, draconic and dictatorial interference of the FCT minister in the governance of the State and the continued dehumanization and disrespect of Sir Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State.

“The said agreement did not address these issues or at least tame Wike’s excesses; and having failed in this regard and coupled with the order that the ex-lawmakers who by their defection from PDP to APC have lost their seats, to continue to act as lawmakers, against the relevant provisions of the Constitution, is totally absurd, unacceptable, condemnable and is an attempt by President Tinubu to usurp the judiciary powers which he doesn’t have.”
