A former First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, has pleaded with Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor in office, Nyesom Wike, to sheath their swords and give peace a chance.
Mrs Jonathan, a native of Okrika town in Rivers State, while commenting on the political crisis in the oil-rich State, advised that it is time for governance.
She said: “We at this point plead that election has come and gone, and now is the time for governance.
“As a peace advocate, I will like to call on the warring parties in Rivers State to sheathe their swords and give peace a chance, knowing fully that no development can take place in an atmosphere of chaos.
“As a political office holder, remember that power is transient and it will end someday.
“Therefore, holding onto power after expiration of your tenure is an invitation to violence and anarchy.”
