The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this while addressing journalists on the perspective of the Federal Government over the crisis.<\/p>\n

He said the President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration is interested in the peace and well being of all the states, including Rivers.<\/p>\n

According to Idris: \u201cWell, he is a federal cabinet member; he is involved in the situation in the state. That cannot be a federal government position. How can it be the federal government\u2019s position?<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you know that what has happened in Rivers is not a creation of the federal government. It is a political problem that is brewing in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the government will ensure that there is peace and stability for all Nigerians, including River State, but you can\u2019t say that this is a creation of the federal government. The federal government never had any hand in creating that problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
