The Minister of FCT – Nyesom Wike has commended President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for intervening in the political crisis in Rivers state, but added that he did not invite him to intervene in the matter.
The former Rivers state governor during a church service in Port Harcourt Today, said he was invited to the meeting and that he has subjected himself to the peace process.
He also said people are now saying the president has no constitutional right to intervene in the matter after calling on him to do so.
Part of his statement reads,
“I want the church to continue praying for us and not let us fail. We must thank Mr President for interfering and intervening, but I was not the one who invited Mr President. People are saying the president is intervening.
“You are the one who said the president should intervene and he has intervened. You now turned around and said that he does not have a constitutional right.
“No matter what the circumstances are, the president invited me to the meeting. I have subjected myself to the peace process.
“Some of you did not even know that Mr President had invited us privately and said do this and we agreed before Mr President before him. We must tell our people this simple truth. I have done my own part. I am happy and I am doing well in Abuja, too.”
