Abuja (Core Reporters) Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara has urged the minister of the Federal capital territory, Nyesom Wike to allow peace to reign in the state, adding that he (Wike) must not win all battles.
Fubara, said on Monday, he does not regret conducting 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).
He advices Wike, to let go of any grip he desires to have over Rivers State and allow peace reign in the oil-rich state.
According to him, “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.
The governor said he has kept all “understanding” he had with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to ensure peace in the state but the issue has continued to escalate.
“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 to beg that let’s allow this issue to go. I have done everything,” Fubara said.
Asked what his message to Wike would be if they meet, Fubara 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; 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.”
