The immediate past governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), in Rivers State, Senator Magnus Abe, has called for caution over the crisis rocking the state occasioned by acrimony between the incumbent governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
The latter, Rivers ex-governor and current Minister of Federal Capital Territory and his successor, Fubara, have taken the centre stage arising from their fallout that almost caused the governor’s impeachment during the week.
Abe at the occasion of his appearance on Arise Television as guest weighed in on the matter, saying among others,”If we are not careful, the kind of scenario, the same kind of drama, the same kind situation that led of us into those quagmires are what is playing out today. There can only be one governor at a time, and however the governor emerged, I would think that the proper thing for us to do is to have a situation where the state can move forward in peace.”
Quoting the Senator further,“My advice to all the parties is to tread with caution. I am very happy with the reconciliatory stand of the governor saying that it is a father and son quarrel, and I think it is left for the father to now take the cue from the offer of peace and make the same kind of comment that will enable them to have a common meeting point so that there will be peace in the state and Rivers people can be able to move forward.
“My advice to all the gladiators is that you can have kingmakers in any society, but you cannot have king removers because if you tried to remove the king its view as treason. So let the gladiators shield our swords, talk to one another.”
