Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has called upon all conflicting factions within the state to unite with him in fostering peace.
Fubara emphasized that the absence of peace could lead to division within the state, underscoring the necessity for unity among all parties.
His appeal comes amidst the ongoing discord between him and the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Addressing the Ogoni Day celebration in Bori Town within Khana Council, Fubara, represented by his deputy, Ngozi Odu, emphasized the importance of unity for the state’s progress.
He said: “I, therefore, want to plead with everyone to put our hands together and allow peace to prevail across the state because without peace, there will be unnecessary division. We don’t need that now.
“We do not joke with all the councils in the senatorial district, in which Ogoni is a major block; therefore, bringing development here is a top priority of this administration.
“You know that we have talked about electricity and security in Ogoni land and these are top priorities of the government.”
