The former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that he want peace between him and his successor, Siminilayi Fubara.<\/p>\n

Wike made this known on Sunday while addressing a congregation during a thanksgiving and marriage anniversary of the immediate past Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Dr Des George-Kelly, at the Kings\u2019 Assembly in Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n

The minister said that he has subjected himself to the peace process initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and promised to give peace a chance in the state.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAre you people aware that Mr President actually called us privately and told us what to do, he (Fubara) didn\u2019t do it and now Mr President then said okay, the larger house should come and they\u2019re saying he does not have the constitutional right to do that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have subjected myself to the peace process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe money accruing from those oil wells today is not in my pocket but for the interest of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo show character, when I was here I never went to see the Federal Government. I was the only opposition to the federal government. I challenged them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is how you know people when they say they want to do something and they do it. I\u2019m not a man that you can convince just because of a porridge of yam, no. it is not possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
