The Nigerian Senate has pleaded with the Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara and his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike to sheathe their swords and embrace peace in the overall interest of the state.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation Orji Uzor Kalu, who made the appeal warns politicians against derailing the country’s democracy.
Speaking when he and other members of the committee paid governor Fubara a visit, Senator Kalu also called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene again in the needless crisis.
The law makers that were in Rivers state on an oversight function took advantage of their visit to also wade into what they say is needless political crisis brewing in the state.

As a way of finding a lasting solution to the matter, Orji Uzor Kalu says he would be meeting with President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
Governor Sim Fubara says he’s not fighting anybody.
He adds that Tuesday’s failed bomb attempt in Port Harcourt was a deliberate attempt to cause anarchy in the state.
Governor Sim Fubara also declared that Rivers State will continue to be peaceful and that his administration will not be distracted from its effort to provide good governance to the people.
