Former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, has appealed to Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, to resolve their differences and prioritize peace.
Addressing the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, Mrs. Jonathan emphasized the need for governance and urged both leaders to move past election-related conflicts.
“We at this point plead that election has come and gone, and now is the time for governance,” Mrs. Jonathan said.
“As a peace advocate, I call on the warring parties in Rivers State to sheathe their swords and give peace a chance, knowing fully that no development can take place in an atmosphere of chaos.”
She reminded political office holders that power is temporary, stating, “As a political office holder, remember that power is transient and it will end someday.
Therefore, holding onto power after the expiration of your tenure is an invitation to violence and anarchy.”
