Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has called on his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, to allow peace to reign in the state.
Fubara made this statement while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday.
He stated that he does not regret conducting the local government election in the state last Saturday despite the resistance by Wike’s men in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Fubara said he had all the guts to do these things, asking his predecessor to let go of whatever hold he thought he had over the South-South state.
He noted that he had kept all misunderstanding he had with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory to ensure peace in Rivers State.

“There is nothing I have not done on this earth for peace to reign. I can tell you the number of times I have knelt down to beg that let’s allow this issue to go. I have done everything,” Fubara said.
“I’ll tell 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; at times, you just let go for the sake of the good people of Rivers State and the love that you have always profess for the state. We need to secure the state.
“Fubara will leave tomorrow. Who knows who is going to come? It might be through him or through another person but we need to secure the state.”
