A political affairs analyst, Ken Okulo, has said the National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Ajibola Basiru, was right to intervene in the Rivers political crisis.
Okulo made this statement on during an interview on TVC monitored by DAILY POST.
According to him, the APC national secretary was in order because the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, who is serving his first term in office, has the right to seek re-election.
He faulted the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, for asking Basiru to steer clear Rivers politics, saying he is not a member of the APC.
According to him, the reality of the situation is that Wike said there was an agreement whereas the APC national secretary said he was not aware of any agreement.
“So if we look at it from that context, we have to be very objective. Look, a lot of water has passed under the bridge.
“What Basiru is interested in is the fact that he wants his party to keep every state APC. In that perspective you really cannot blame the him for making that statement,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that Wike had asked Basiru to steer clear of Rivers politics.
