Tinubu’s Deal: If He Implements It, He Is In Trouble, If He Doesn’t, He Is In Trouble – Top PDP Leader Speaks On Fubara
A former National Secretary of the PDP, Senator Ibrahim Tsauri reacted to Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s move to implement the peace deal initiated by President Bola Tinubu.
The Tinubu’s deal which largely favours the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, and his camp runs against the wish of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP but Governor Fubara plans to implement it against the position taken by his party.
Reacting to the issue, Tsauri cautioned that the Governor would be committing a political blunder to implement a peace pact against his party’s stand.
The member of the PDP National Executive Council noted said the implementation would be morally right, but politically incorrect.
Tsauri stated “As a complete gentleman, he went there and signed the agreement, even though without the consent of the party. So implementation will be made by him and not by the party. But certainly, it won’t be in the interest of the party.
“ The PDP will not allow itself to be dragged into that trap, but he failed to consult the party. If he implements it, he is in trouble, if he doesn’t, is in trouble. Implementation of the agreement is like jumping into awaiting problems. And if he fails to implement it, he is going to enter the Federal government’s trouble. So, either way, is trouble for him.”
Also reacting to the matter, a former PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, in a statement on Monday by his Media Adviser, Ike Abonyi, in Abuja, on Sunday, urged the political class to be wary of actions that might constitute a threat to our nascent democracy and national security.
Abonyi quoted his principal as saying, “With particular reference to the crisis in Rivers State, the former PDP boss contended that the intervention of President Bola Tinubu must be by the spirit and letter of our constitution for it to be implementable.
“There are creative ways a political conflict can be resolved if and when the President acts like a statesman and the President of all Nigerians.
“Mr President would have violated this sacred role if he acted in such a way and manner that gave an unconstitutional advantage to his political party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and an individual political godfather.
“This is the scenario the unenforceable agreement reached at the instance of Mr President purports to foster.”
He called on well-meaning Nigerians to call on the President and other stakeholders to act in the interest of peace in Rivers State and “ensure genuine, unbiased, generally acceptable, and enforceable reconciliation of the crisis.”
