Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Chief Godwin Kanu Agabi, SAN, CON, who chairs the panel, delivered the keynote statement.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rivers State has in recent months been gripped by a deep political standoff involving Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Governor Nyesom Wike, and the Rivers State House of Assembly.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The crisis, marked by legislative paralysis, rival power centres, and open political confrontation, has generated widespread national concern and prompted PANDEF\u2014the umbrella socio-political organisation of the South-South\u2014to intervene through a high-powered reconciliation committee.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking at the inauguration, Agabi described the assignment as a solemn responsibility, expressing gratitude to God and PANDEF\u2019s leadership, particularly the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Ambassador Godknows Igali, and elder statesman King Alfred Papapraye Diete-Spiff, whom he described as a symbol of sacrifice and unity in the Niger Delta.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He warned that allowing the crisis to persist would undermine public confidence in governance and leadership.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe cannot afford to stand by and do nothing or pass by on the other side as Rivers State struggles with issues of political power,\u201d he said, drawing a vivid analogy, \u201cLet the parties not be as the Clam and the Oyster who left the depths of the sea to fight on the shore, only to be picked up by a fisherman and made a meal of. May it not be so with Rivers State.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agabi stressed that the dispute is essentially an internal family matter that can be resolved without external coercion if the actors involved demonstrate humility and goodwill.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf they have offended one another, they must be humble enough to apologize and to forgive. It is in forgiving that true greatness can be found,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He cautioned against dismissing moral and spiritual appeals as weakness, warning that the exclusion of God from public life has damaged the nation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhether we are governors or ministers or legislators, it is to God that we owe our appointments. And it is to Him that we shall, in the end, render account,\u201d Agabi added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a deeply personal segment of his address, Agabi spoke about his relationships with the principal figures in the crisis.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Describing Minister Nyesom Wike as \u201cmy friend, my benefactor\u2026 a man I love and respect,\u201d he praised Wike\u2019s record as governor and his performance as FCT Minister, insisting that his political legacy is already secure.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe mighty hand of God is upon him, and that great hand demands that he should lead this reconciliation,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agabi also affirmed his long-standing bond with Governor Siminalayi Fubara, recalling his role in defending Fubara\u2019s election mandate.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI trust him to respect that bond,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Turning to the Rivers State House of Assembly, Agabi expressed confidence in the patriotism of the lawmakers while urging them to show restraint in the interest of peace.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is in forgiving the Governor whatever wrongs he has committed that they will show their public spirit and maturity,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further acknowledged the stabilising role of the President in managing national tensions, noting that in a plural society, \u201cdiscordant voices will always be heard,\u201d but expressed confidence that the President would \u201crecognize the clear ring of truth.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agabi concluded by emphasising that the Committee\u2019s mandate is not to apportion blame but to foster reconciliation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are not appointed to sit in judgment. Our duty is to appeal. We urge them, we beg them, we appeal to them. Sacrifices are called for. Make them, and let there be peace,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The political crisis in Rivers State has its roots in the breakdown of relations between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. Fubara, a former Accountant-General of the state, was widely seen as Wike\u2019s political prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and beneficiary of his strong political structure during the 2023 governorship election.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tensions began to surface months into Fubara\u2019s administration amid disputes over control of party structures, governance style, and the autonomy of the governor from his predecessor\u2019s influence. The crisis escalated into open confrontation involving the Rivers State House of Assembly, with factions of lawmakers aligning with opposing camps, leading to impeachment threats, court actions, and repeated shutdowns of legislative activities.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The situation has drawn concern from civil society groups, traditional rulers, and national leaders, who fear that continued instability in one of Nigeria\u2019s key oil-producing states could undermine governance, security, and economic activity in the Niger Delta.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">PANDEF\u2019s intervention is aimed at preventing further escalation, restoring political stability, and preserving the unity of the state, as stakeholders await concrete steps from the political actors involved to heed the call for reconciliation and peace.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lizzy Chirkpi The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) Reconciliation Committee on Rivers State has issued a strong appeal for peace, warning that the lingering political crisis in the state&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":124989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
