Uwazuruike Condemns Breach of Agreement in Rivers State Politics
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has weighed in on the Rivers State crisis, blaming Governor Simi Fubara for reneging on an agreement with his godfather, Nyesom Wike.

Uwazuruike took sides with Wike, stating that natural justice demands that agreements should be kept. In a video

released on Thursday, Uwazuruike condemned Fubara’s actions, saying that the crisis in Port Harcourt affects both

the south east and south south geopolitical zones of Nigeria.

He emphasized that the crisis could have been avoided if one party had kept to the agreement. Uwazuruike’s

comments have sparked a heated debate on the Rivers State crisis, with many calling for calm and restraint. The

MASSOB leader’s verdict on the matter highlights the complexity of the issue and the need for a thorough examination of the facts.

The Rivers State crisis has taken a toll on the lives of innocent people, and Uwazuruike’s comments serve as a

reminder of the need for leaders to prioritize the welfare of their people. The crisis has also raised questions about

the role of godfathers in Nigerian politics.

Uwazuruike’s statement that “he who goes to equity should have clean hands” suggests that Fubara’s actions were

unjust and that Wike has been unfairly maligned. However, others have argued that Wike’s actions were also culpable.

The MASSOB leader’s comments have also sparked a discussion about the need for leaders to keep their agreements

and prioritize the welfare of their people. This debate highlights the complexities of Nigerian politics and the need for

leaders to prioritize ethics and integrity.

As the Rivers State crisis continues to unfold, Uwazuruike’s comments serve as a reminder of the need for calm and

restraint. The situation requires a thorough examination of the facts and a commitment to finding a peaceful resolution.

The role of MASSOB in the Rivers State crisis is also worth noting. As a separatist movement, MASSOB’s interests in

the crisis are complex and multifaceted. However, Uwazuruike’s comments suggest that the movement is committed to promoting peace and stability in the region.
