Chief Anabs Sara-Igbe, a member of the Rivers State Elders and Leaders Council, have spoken positively on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s recent visit to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
He described it as a personal sacrifice made to promote peace in Rivers State.
According to Sara-Igbe, Fubara has shown that he genuinely wants peace, while Wike appears to be more confrontational.
He said Fubara visited Wike with humility to discuss matters privately and that peace often requires such efforts.
Wike confirmed the meeting, saying that Fubara came to his Port Harcourt residence with two governors from the All Progressives Congress and another person.
Wike stated that Fubara expressed a desire for peace, which he welcomed.
However, Wike blamed the current political issues Fubara is facing on his own decisions.
He claimed that when the problems began, he and several other political leaders advised Fubara to be humble and not be influenced by others, but Fubara didn’t listen.
Wike stated that while no one questions Fubara’s authority as governor, he should not neglect those who supported him to power.
Wike also addressed issues in the Federal Capital Territory, particularly open grazing.
He said the government is working on solutions but needs to be careful.
He revealed that land originally set aside for grazing had been taken over by land grabbers, making the situation more difficult to manage.
