Timi Frank to Tinubu: Ensure there's peace in Rivers -- it's critical to Nigeria's economy

Timi Frank, a former deputy spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress , says President Bola Tinubu should ensure that there is peace in Rivers state.

In the past few months, members of the Rivers state house of assembly and Siminalayi Fubara, the governor, have been at loggerheads. The rift between Fubara and Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory , has led members of the state assembly to take sides.In a statement on Friday, Frank said any illegal impeachment of Fubara would cause a political crisis that would affect the country’s economy.

“God will always use people to support anybody to become governor or whatever position they aspire to, but that does not mean those who emerged will now become slaves to those that helped them to power,” Frank said. “During Wike’s time, he was not a slave to Jonathan nor his wife, Patience, who helped him to become governor, but rather he displayed ingratitude to Jonathan and his wife.“Therefore, Tinubu must make sure that there is peace, law and order in Rivers State to allow Fubara to work and deliver on his campaign promises to the people.
