Let peace reign in Rivers, Fubara tells Wike

The Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, to allow peace to reign in the state.

Fubara stated this when he featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, urging Wike to let go of any grip he wishes to have over the state.

“There is nothing that I have not done on this earth for peace to reign. I can tell you the number of times I have knelt to beg to allow this issue to go,” he said.

Speaking on the recently conducted local government election in the state, he said he holds no regret conducting the election despite the resistance by Wike’s men in the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress.

“I have all the guts to do these things,” the governor said, asking his predecessor to let go of whatever hold he thought he had over the South-South state.
