Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, says the political crisis in Rivers State will be resolved by the National Assembly.
Akpabio assured that the National Assembly would play a key role in ensuring political stability and restoring peace in the state.
He said efforts were being made to address the root causes of the crisis and foster reconciliation among aggrieved stakeholders.
Akpabio stated these during the Inauguration of the Kugbo Taxi and Bus Terminal in the Federal Capital Territory.
“We are determined to ensure that normalcy returns to Rivers State. The National Assembly will work closely with all parties involved to ensure lasting peace and progress for the people,” Akpabio said.
The political crisis in Rivers State had resulted in the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and the state legislature, three months ago.
President Bola Tinubu suspended Fubara for six months while declaring a state of emergency.
Since his suspension, Fubara had met with Tinubu and FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, his estranged political godfather, in a move to push for reconciliation.
Recently, Wike, who expressed readiness for reconciliation, had charged Fubara to meet with other aggrieved stakeholders in the state for settlement.
