Tinubu resolves Wike, Fubara feud
The Rivers Elders and Leadership Forum has written to President Bola Tinubu, intimating him that the eight-point resolution reached between the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike and Rivers State governor, Similanayi Fubara was skewed to favour the FCT minister and as such not implementable.

The forum in the letter observed that the composition and attendance during the meeting showed a lack of balance between the warring factions.
It pointed out that the eight resolution was not implementable stressing that to implement such resolution will be acting against the constitution and the rule of law.
