Tinubu’s Rivers Peace Accord Put Knife In Fubara’s Back – Shehu Sani

A former Senator who represented Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, on Tuesday said the peace resolutions by President Bola Tinubu in the political crisis rocking Rivers State are against the state Governor, Sim Fubara.

Sani said the peace accord will remove the knife from Fubara’s neck and set it behind his back.

Osun Defender has reported the political tension between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

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.

Tinubu in a bid to resolve the crisis, on Monday, brokered a peace deal between Wike and Fubara at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

During the meeting, Tinubu issued an eight-point resolution as part of the peace deal.

However, Sani stressed that the accord will only buy time for another round of battle.

Posting on X, Sani wrote: “I have now read the Rivers agreement .The accord will remove the knife from the neck of Sim and set it behind his back.

“The accord will bury the hatchets with leaves.The accord outwardly sells peace, but internally buys time for another round of war.

“However, It can be better if the dialogue is periodically assessed and improved upon.”
