In a recent development concerning the political unrest in Rivers State, President Bola Tinubu’s administration has asserted its impartial position.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, conveyed that the President is committed to neutrality and will not favor any party involved in the dispute.
During a TVC interview, Ngelale emphasized that expectations for presidential bias in the matter would be met with disappointment.
The presidency’s stance is clear: President Tinubu is dedicated to ensuring that the governance of Rivers State is not hindered by political conflicts¹.
“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.”
