Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani expressed on Tuesday that President Bola Tinubu’s peace resolutions are unfavorable to Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.
Sani suggested that the peace agreement would metaphorically remove the threat hanging over Fubara’s head and relocate it behind his back.
The ongoing discord between Fubara and Wike revolves around the control of Rivers State’s political structure and finances. This conflict led to lawmakers in the state Assembly defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC), and some Commissioners resigning from Fubara’s executive council.
Attempting to resolve the crisis, Tinubu mediated a peace agreement between Wike and Fubara at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday. As part of this resolution, Tinubu issued an eight-point plan.
However, Sani emphasized that the agreement might only serve as a temporary pause before another round of conflict.
Posting on X, Sani wrote: “I have now read the Rivers agreement.The accord will remove the knife from the neck of Sim and set it behind his back.
“The accord will bury the hatchets with leaves.The accord outwardly sells peace, but internally buys time for another round of war.
“However, It can be better if the dialogue is periodically assessed and improved upon.”
