Former President Goodluck Jonathan urges Governor Fubara and ex-Governor Wike to ease political tensions in Rivers State during his visit to inaugurate a road project. Stressing collaboration for development, Jonathan warns that destabilizing Rivers would have nationwide repercussions.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has stepped into the escalating political tensions in Rivers State, urging Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, to de-escalate the situation. Jonathan's arrival in Port Harcourt to inaugurate a road construction project was seen as a strategic move amidst the crisis.
Addressing the gathering, Jonathan stressed the importance of collaboration between Fubara and Wike for the state's progress. He emphasized that the current political tension would not contribute to Rivers' development and urged both leaders to work together for the collective interest of the state.
Highlighting the significance of Rivers State to the Niger Delta and the entire country, Jonathan warned that destabilizing the state would have far-reaching consequences.
Despite not being widely perceived as an ally of Wike, Fubara has been forging relationships with individuals outside Wike's political circle to strengthen his political faction. Jonathan's intervention underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for unity among political leaders for the state's stability and development.
