Former President Goodluck Jonathan has called on the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, to sheathe their swords and end the political crisis in the state.
Jonathan, made the call while speaking at the flag off of for the construction of the N222.1bn Trans-Kalabari Road in Rivers State on Monday.
While noting that Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory must work together for the growth and development of the state, Jonathan said any further escalation of the crisis would not be good for the oil and gas-rich state.
He further said Rivers was at the centre of the Niger Delta and critical to Nigeria, saying destabilizing Rivers would have an adverse effect not only in the region but the country at large due to the position it occupies.
