JUST IN: Tinubu Won’t Take Sides In Rivers Crisis – Presidency Spokesman

President Bola Tinubu, on Sunday said he will not take sides in the ongoing crisis rocking Rivers State.

Presidential spokesman, Ajulu Ngelale said that anyone with the belief that President Tinubu would take side in the political crisis would be disappointed.

The Special Adviser made the President’s position know during an interview on TVC, insisting that Tinubu won’t allow any attempt to frustrate the Rivers government. “I believe that anyone who believes that by their actions, whether it’s from the Federal level, State level or the legislative branch in the State or the executive branch in the state, if they are banking on Mr. President to take sides on this matter, they’re mistaking and they’ll be disappointed,” he said.
“Mr. President will not do that. What he will do is to ensure that everybody has what they need in order to work. “He will also ensure that any attempt to frustrate the operation of the Rivers State Government of conducting its affairs in a way that it would benefit the Rivers people, that’s obviously not going to be allowed by this President or anybody else.
“So, I think there’s a need for all stakeholders to understand that Mr President won’t take sides.”
