A former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said that for peace to return in the state, the governor, Siminalayi Fubara, must do the right thing.
According to him, Fubara must represent the 2025 budget to the State Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule, and also resubmit the names of his commissioners for clearance.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, said that there is no way Fubara will have peace without doing the right thing.
“What is peace? What is important is, let the right thing be done. When the right things are done, there will be peace.
“But if the right thing is not done, how would you say you want peace? Peace is predicated on doing the right thing.
“Go and re-present the budget, go and submit the list of the commissioners. You cannot do illegality,” Wike said.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Wike narrated how he picked Governor Siminalayi Fubara for the position despite some politicians of Ijaw extraction kicking against the decision.
He also said that Ijaws are minority in Rivers State and the Niger Delta, and stand no chance of becoming governors in any other state in the region apart from Bayelsa.
