The uproar has exploded again in Rivers State over leaked details of a peace accord allegedly made in Aso Rock between the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and the Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Protests have been reported around the avenue leading to the seat of power in Port Harcourt by groups asking the governor not to accept the peace terms.
Wike is the former governor of Rivers State.
The ‘peace accord’ seemed to alarm the Fubara camp as they said all the peace terms favoured Wike. They thus said the resolutions were a trap.
At first, the Fubara camp suspected the governor’s signature was forged, but they seemed more confused after many inquiries.
One of the top persons in Fubara’s camp told BusinessDay: “I am curious, honestly. Although I haven’t spoken with the governor, I wonder why the signatures of the Governor and his deputy seem like photocopies while those of Nyesom Wike and the NSA (National Security Adviser) are in original red ink. Is this the original document that was signed?
If not, where is the original? Governors sign in red, and the speaker (as insisted by his faction), Rt Hon Amaewhule, will normally sign in green. His is also photocopied. If it is a peace accord, How come Rt. Hon. Eddison Ehie (the speaker of the other faction) was absent from the meeting.
