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, which was monitored by POLITICS NIGERIA 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.”
This development comes amidst the crisis that followed the recent local government elections in the state.
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”
