Rivers crisis: Peace cannot be achieved without Wike and Fubara, Shehu Sani says while advocating for a political resolution.
Former Lawmaker Shehu Sani has urged for a political resolution to address the Rivers crisis.
His statement follows President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
Shehu emphasized the crucial roles of former Governor Nysom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara in restoring stability in the state.
He stated that political conflicts require political solutions and that Wike remains a key factor in resolving the Rivers crisis. According to him, peace cannot be achieved in the state without both Wike and Fubara. He suggested that both leaders should be involved within the six-month period if the matter is under the Federal Executive Council’s review.
“Political conflicts need political solutions, and whatever happens to Rivers State, you cannot remove the key instrumental factor of Wike. You cannot have peace without Wike and without Fubara. So both of them are needed within this window of six months to appease the situation if the issue is before the Federal Executive Council,” Sani stated.
Sani also urged President Bola Tinubu to use his leadership to restore peace in the state, emphasizing that whether or not Wike plays a central role, the primary goal should be achieving lasting peace in Rivers State.
‘‘Whether Wike is there or not, the most important thing is that we all want peace in Rivers State,” he added.
