Acting Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State, Chukwuemeka Aaron says he will ensure that peace is restored between Governor of the state, Sim Fubara and the FCT Minister – Nyesom Wike.
Aaron made this known while addressing leaders of the party across the 23 local government areas in Port Harcourt Today.
According to him, he has met Fubara and Wike and both have shown interest for peace.
Part of his statement reads,
I will ensure that peace is restored between our leader and our governor, we have to work together to achieve it.
I have met with the two of them and they have shown interest for peace.
But the things our supporters are writing on social media is not encouraging.
These children that are using social media to fuel crisis in Rivers State come from local government areas , some of them are working with party leaders.
We must call them to order; a child who wishes to become an elder someday must learn not to insult the elders .
We will not allow anybody to insult the minister, just as we’ll not also tolerate anyone who insult the governor.
These people talking about Ijaw today were the same people that said that Sim Fubara was an Ikwerre man: they accused Wike of bringing another Ikwerre man to become governor after him through the back door but today they’re using the name of Ijaw to balkanize our party … We won’t let it happen.
Those of you going behind to see the governor to blackmail others , to cause problem in the party you’re not helping us.
We know that some of those fueling the crisis are not members of our party but we must identify and discipline our members who want to balkanize our party.
When I met with the Governor he told me that the Minister is his Oga but some of you are interested in fueling the crisis but we won’t accept it from anybody.
When the father and son reconcile, that your eye service will end.
If you think you want to get anything by fueling crisis, let me tell you the truth, you cannot be empowered under crisis. Nothing works in crisis.
Today we are seeing people who didn’t support the governor’s election parading themselves as the governor’s new supporters with different names .
All these Sim Vanguard , Sim this and Sim that , what are they for; is there any election in the state or is there any bye-election in the state?
Sim is our governor and we worked for his victory, and he won convincingly across the 23 LGAs.
He will serve for complete four years first and after we can come back and talk about the next election.
We’re not having any election in the state now, so why the different groups and banners; it’s just to fuel the crisis, while we’re praying for peace.
We are the people that worked for the victory of the governor, and we will not allow anybody to come from the back.
Those saying these ones na Wike people, the other person na Sim people , are those who don’t want peace in the party.
We’re supposed to have started sensitization for the next local government election but the issue in the state is the reason why we’ve not started anything yet.
If the reason why you are fueling crisis in the party is to be appointed caretaker, fa fa fa foul , you’re wasting your time .
This misunderstanding will be resolved and peace will return and we’ll all benefit from the victory we all worked for , we can’t watch those who worked against us during the election take the benefits of our hardwork.
