In a heartfelt appeal captured in a video shared by Gbaramatuvoice TV from 0.01, ex-militant commander, Government Ekpemupolo popularly has called on President Bola Tinubu and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike to forgive Governor Siminalayi Fubara and restore unity within the political ranks.
In the video, Tompolo passionately urged both national and regional leaders to prioritize peace and reconciliation over political discord. “We are pleading to our president to bring Fubara back. Wike, please take things easy, forgive and forget. We are the leaders,” he said during a public gathering.
Tompolo emphasized the importance of unity and mutual respect among leaders particularly between Wike and Fubara whose political fallout has drawn national attention. He likened their strained relationship to that of a father and son, urging against rebellion and division.
“I will not like my son to rebel against me, and I will not like Fubara to rebel against Wike,” Tompolo added making a direct appeal to Wike to show restraint and understanding in handling the matter.
The rift between Wike and Fubara which has deepened in recent months has led to speculations of political instability in Rivers State. Tompolo’s appeal is seen as a significant intervention, given his influence in the Niger Delta and his close ties with key political stakeholders.
Observers believe that if heeded, Tompolo’s call could pave the way for reconciliation and stability in the region. As tensions continue to simmer, many are watching to see how the presidency and Wike will respond to this call for peace.
