The governor of Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara stated that he has no hand in the destruction of some local government secretariats in Rivers State. He therefore urged his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, to let go of any grip he desires to have over Rivers State and allow peace reign in the oil-rich state.
Fubara, who stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, said he does not regret conducting the local government election in the state on Saturday October 5th despite the resistance by Wike’s men in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“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.
” 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”
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.
