Fubara to Wike – What you should do now and urgently in Rivers

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has stated that his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, needs to let go of his enmity with him and the aspiration for the political control of the state for the sake of peace.

The Rivers leader made this remark on Channels TV’s ‘Politics Today’ program on Monday.

He said, “I’ll tell him (Wike) that it has gotten to a point where he needs to let go. We need peace in this state; you don’t necessarily need to win all the fights. Sometimes, you just have to let go for the sake of the good people of Rivers State.”

“Fubara will leave tomorrow. Who knows who is going to come? It might be through him or another person but we need to secure the state.”

This development comes amidst the crisis that followed the recent local government elections in the state.

Notedly, violence recently erupted in at least four local government areas in Rivers State. In Eleme, Ikwerre, and Emohua, political hoodlums set fire to parts of council buildings, while in Ahoada East, gunshots rang out as selected persons resisted the arrival of new council officials

On the recent election which was boycotted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), Fubara said:

“I have all the guts to do these things.”

”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”

In the election, the Action People’s Party (APP) won 22 chairmanship positions out of 23 in the oil-rich state while the Action Alliance (AA) won a seat. Fubara swore in the chairmen on Sunday, a day after the election.

“What I am appealing is: everyone should sheathe their swords. Even to the minister, my oga (my boss), there is no need to destroy this state.

“He (Wike) once ruled this state and the state was an envy of every other state. Another person is there now, what we need now is the support, after four years or eight years, who knows? I will also leave and someone else will take over. That should be the spirit.

“When it comes to the election period, you can fight and do whatever but now is the time for governance. We need all the support,” the governor said.
