Rivers crisis: Patience Jonathan declares her stand between Wike and Fubara

Former First Lady Patience Jonathan has begged Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to lay down their swords and try to broker peace.

It’s time for governance, Mrs. Jonathan said in reference to the political situation in Rivers State.

She said: “We at this point plead that election has come and gone, and now is the time for governance.

“As a peace advocate, I will like to 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.

“As a political office holder, remember that power is transient and it will end someday.

“Therefore, holding onto power after expiration of your tenure is an invitation to violence and anarchy.”
