Tonye Cole, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for governor of Rivers State in the 2023 election, has commented on the state’s continuing political crises.
Cole stated that until four well-known individuals in the state come together to address the issue, peace will not be restored to the oil-rich state.
He made this claim on Tuesday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show.
The declaration was made in the middle of Rivers State’s ongoing political unrest in the wake of last Saturday’s municipal elections.
If President Bola Tinubu truly wants peace in Rivers State, he can preside over the meeting, in his opinion.
He said: “I have already said some actors need to be on the table. There are four of them who must sit down at a table and decide that Rivers State is more important than personal interest and agenda. Till then we are not going to have peace.
“His Excellency ex-Governor Peter Odili, who is the father of this political dynamics, must sit at the table. His Excellency Rotimi Amaechi must sit at that table. Then Nyesom Wike, and Siminalayi Fubara must sit at that table.
“The President can superintend this if he really wants peace in Rivers State. And a decision must be made that this is how are going to be moving forward.
“Until that is done, as soon as Fubara’s time is about to end, you will see an all out war.”
