Tinubu’s accord will remove the knife from the neck of Fubara and set it behind his back -Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani criticized President Bola Tinubu’s peace resolutions, asserting that they favor Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.

Sani argued that the peace accord would temporarily ease tensions but ultimately set the stage for renewed conflict between Fubara and Wike, who have been in a power struggle over Rivers State’s political control and finances.

Tinubu’s eight-point resolution, aimed at resolving the crisis, was brokered at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday. Sani emphasized that the accord merely postpones another round of confrontation.

Posting on X, Sani wrote: “I have now read the Rivers agreement.The accord will remove the knife from the neck of Sim and set it behind his back.

“The accord will bury the hatchets with leaves.The accord outwardly sells peace, but internally buys time for another round of war.

“However, It can be better if the dialogue is periodically assessed and improved upon.”
