Niger Delta activist Ann-Kio Briggs has called on President Bola Tinubu to publicly disclose the terms of the alleged agreements reached with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara during efforts to resolve the political standoff with Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.

It will be recalled that President Tinubu intervened in June to mediate the long-running political conflict in Rivers State, which had persisted for nearly two years.

Following the peace talks, reports emerged suggesting that certain conditions were agreed upon, which led to Fubara’s reinstatement after his suspension earlier in March.

Among the rumored terms of the settlement was a requirement for the governor to abandon his potential bid for a second term in office.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Briggs declared that it is unacceptable “when politicians make these agreements over our heads; it’s like shaving the head of someone behind their back”.

She stressed that Rivers people are the one people to pay “the greatest price in all of these things”, stressing that it is unacceptable that they are not aware of “decision which will affect us”.

“We can’t gauge the extent to which these decisions will affect us, it becomes very difficult to flow with the politicians.

“It’s just an impossible situation where we have found ourselves. We don’t know what the President has insisted on, we don’t know what was agreed upon, and where that leads the people of Rivers State. So, we need to know what was agreed on,” Briggs added.
