Mr Wike gave the commendation in a statement by his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, on Wednesday in Abuja.
The minister, who stated that Mr Tinubu had once again demonstrated his total commitment to peace and the sustenance of democracy in the country, added that his proactive action saved Rivers.
Mr Wike said that the president’s intervention had further restored the confidence of the people of Rivers in his leadership.
He commended the people of the state for their faith in the president and their continued support for him in his tireless efforts to guide the country back on the path of progress and development.
Mr Wike called on all stakeholders in Rivers to work together harmoniously in the collective interest of the state and its people.
