Rivers State’s All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman, Tony Okocha, has dismissed the prospect of peace returning to the state anytime soon.

Governor Similayi Fubara, according to Okocha, had the opportunity to patch things up with his estranged godfather, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, during the holiday season.

ZINGTIE stated that the continuing political conflict in the state between Fubara and Wike has continued to deepen splits in Rivers State.

In an interview with Arise Television’s Morning Show program on Tuesday, the APC chieftain stated that he does not anticipate peace in the state returning anytime soon.

“I don’t see Rivers State coming out of this quagmire. By reason of prognosis, I am not a prophet of doom.

“The yuletide presents even enemies opportunities to visit one another and resolve their issues. The governor of Rivers State and his immediate benefactor could not be enemies. Even if they were, the festive season is a time to exchange convivialities and goodwill.

“What could it have taken you? Your boss, as he used to call him, celebrated his birthday in December. Even if it were just a scroll of news to say ‘congratulations on your birthday,’ that doesn’t take anything away from you, from my own assessment.

“The governor who’s suing for peace can just drive to the Minister’s house or anybody else’s to say, ‘I come to celebrate with you on Christmas Day.’ I am sure nobody will chase the governor away if he visits his home. But instead of doing that, he’s threatening brimstone and fire.

“I don’t see peace. I don’t see peace anytime soon because the governor holds the key.”
