Former president Goodluck Jonathan has advised the Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor Nyesom Wike, to unite and work together.
Political crisis between Fabura and Wike has continued unabtted.
Jonathan made the call on the governor and Wike on Monday during the flag-off of the Trans-Kalabari Road in the state.
ASHENEWS recalls that Fubara, last week Monday, after swearing in Dagogo Iboroma as the Attorney General of the state that he would probe Wike’s eight-year administration.
“Why are we bringing you in at this very critical time? You have a big task. As it is today, in the local parlance, they say the jungle has matured. We will be setting a panel of inquiry to investigate the affairs of governance,” he said. “So brace up. I am not going back on it”, the Rivers governor had said.
Also last week, Fubara had warned political players in the state against violence, vowing that anyone who harms another in the name of politics would pay for the crime.
“When we left Aleso the other day, some people went there and attacked our people. There is no need for it. Nobody has the monopoly of violence. I should even be the one who should come and shout that I will do this, I will do that, but I don’t need to do that because both sides belong to me.
“So, I am advising those people who call themselves local government chairmen, you have a few days in office, please conduct yourselves. Politic will come, politics will go – we will still live our lives.
“Let anyone not deceive you, if you deliberately hurt anybody in the cause of expressing your useless support, nobody will forgive you, you will pay for it. So, I’m begging everyone, please conduct yourselves,” Fubara warned.
