Momodu described Tinubu’s involvement in the dispute between Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, as legally absurd.
Fubara and Wike have been in a prolonged conflict regarding the control of Rivers State’s political structure and financial matters.
The disagreement resulted in members of the state Assembly defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC), while certain Commissioners resigned from their positions within the Fubara-led executive council.
Seeking to resolve the crisis, Tinubu facilitated a peace agreement between Wike and Fubara at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
During this meeting, President Tinubu presented an eight-point resolution as a fundamental part of the peace accord.
Reacting on Instagram, Momodu wrote: “The directives to Rivers State by a Federal President is absurd in legal terms. No President can be a Headmaster of both State and Federal
“What manner of democracy are we practicing that allows a President to intervene in the internal affairs of opposition parties and over-rules the Constitution unchallenged, and our politicians comply as if they are in a slave camp?
“Opposition parties must vehemently oppose this brazen attempt at forcing a one-party dictatorship on Nigeria.”
Kanyi Daily recalls that Nyesom Wike had expressed a renewed commitment to peace amidst the recent tensions with Siminalayi Fubara.
