Rivers State elders and leaders have written an open letter to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, warning him against implementing the resolution reached at a meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja to resolve the political crisis in the state.

In their letter, the elders described the resolution as “a death sentence,” contending that it was lopsided in favour of Fubara’s estranged political godfather and former Governor, Nyesom Wike.

The Forum, led by former Rivers State Governor Rufus Ada-George, made the declaration in two separate open letters addressed to President Tinubu and Fubara, respectively, and read to newsmen in Port Harcourt yesterday.

They declared that the presidential resolution on the political crisis in Rivers State was not implementable because it was against the rule of law.

They said the President lacks the power to overrule the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, while faulting the Christmas Day broadcast by Fubara that he would implement the resolution. They, however, lauded Fubara for his humility as shown in his Christmas Day speech to the people of the state.
