The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT and former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has declared that President Bola Tinubu’s intervention has made the executive, legislature, and judiciary work independently in Rivers State.
Wike pointed out that peace has been restored in the state with the working of the three arms of government.
He made this known on Monday while addressing journalists on his political tussle with Fubara.
According to Wike: “The Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary are all functioning independently. All thanks to the President”.
A heated political face-off broke out between Wike and Fubara over the leadership of the state.
The face-off led to the burning of the state legislative chambers three months ago by some lawmakers believed to be Fubara’s loyalists.

Some commissioners and lawmakers loyal to Wike had resigned from the state executive council and defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
But, President Tinubu had intervened in the rift and compelled them to sign a peace pact.
As part of the peace pact, Fubara had renominated and sworn in the commissioners.
Africa Today News, New York recalls that Wike had over the weekend vowed to further ensure that criminals operating do not have rest in the nation’s capital.
He made this vow following the incessant kidnapping in Abuja.
Wike made the vow on Friday while inaugurating an emergency construction and rehabilitation of the nine-kilometre Paikon Kore – Ibwa Road, in Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT to promote rural development.
Wike said the project was part of 30-kilometre roads that would be constructed across the six area councils of the territory.
He assured the residents that President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda was not mere talk but action.
