Only four people can resolve Rivers political crisis – APC’s Tonye Cole gives names to Tinubu

Former Rivers State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2023 election, Tonye Cole has weighed in on the ongoing political crisis in the state.

Cole said peace cannot return to the oil-rich state unless four prominent personalities in the state sit together to resolve the crisis.

He stated this on Tuesday while speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

The statement comes amidst ongoing political crisis in Rivers State following the last Saturday’s local government election

According to him, President Bola Tinubu can superintend the meeting if he really wants peace to Rivers State.

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.”
