Many people have stormed the Government House, Port Harcourt, and Rivers State, to protest against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s intervention in the political crisis rocking the state.
The protest on Friday, December 22, 2023, was also in solidarity with the state governor, Siminilayi Fubara.
The protest commenced early in the morning along Azikiwe Road, with demonstrators rallying against an alleged presidential intervention in the state’s affairs.
As of the latest report filing, the protesters remain assembled, erecting canopies at the Government House entrance,.
The widespread unrest signifies a growing wave of discontentment or disagreement over the reported involvement of President Tinubu in the crisis.
Tinubu during the week in a meeting attended by former Rivers state governor, Peter Odili reportedly asked Fubara and Wike to sign an eight-point peace deal.
After the meeting, the Rivers elders berated the president for intervening in the situation, saying his resolution favours the minister of FCT and former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike.
