RIVERS: Youth groups, others warn Fubara against implementing Abuja agreement

Youth and other groups in Rivers State, on Friday, warned the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara against implementing any part of the eight-point resolution entered into between him and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

In a joint statement signed by the leaders of about 16 organizations including the National President of Rivers State students, Comrade Abbey Precious Sime-Ipiri, President of Ogoni Youth Federation, Dr. Legborsi Yamabana, Coordinator of National Association of Nigerian students, NANS, Levi Okoru, President of the Rivers State Chapter of Nigeria Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, Chijioke Ihunwo among others, the organisations urged Governor Fubara not to attempt under any guise of persuasive truce to implement any part of the agreement reached at the Abuja peace meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu which they described as “unconstitutional”.

According to the groups, the agreement was, “akin to selling our collective hegemony to one individual, in the person of the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike”, who according to them, “enjoys the support of the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila and the President himself”.
