Public affairs analyst Frank Tietie has called on President Bola Tinubu to refrain from involvement in the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.

Tietie made the statement on Friday during an interview with Arise Television, as reported by DAILY POST. The comments come amid renewed tensions in Rivers State, where the State House of Assembly on Thursday initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The Assembly accused Governor Fubara and his deputy of violating a peace agreement previously brokered by President Tinubu.

Responding to the situation, Tietie stated:

“I think it is morally, politically, and legally wrong to involve President Tinubu in the Rivers crisis. His involvement seems to be doing more harm than good. Nigeria must be a country that thrives on principles and precedents; we must test our democracy, and this Rivers case should be left to unfold without presidential interference.”
