Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has encouraged all disgruntled factions in the state to join hands with him and enable peace to reign.
Fubara stated that a lack of peace would cause a split in the state, hence the necessity for unification.
This comes amid a schism between him and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Fubara spoke yesterday at the Ogoni Day celebration in Bori Town, Khana Council, represented by his deputy, Ngozi Odu.
He said: “I, therefore, want to plead with everyone to put our hands together and allow peace to prevail across the state because without peace, there will be unnecessary division. We don’t need that now.
“We do not joke with all the councils in the senatorial district, in which Ogoni is a major block; therefore, bringing development here is a top priority of this administration.
“You know that we have talked about electricity and security in Ogoni land and these are top priorities of the government.”
