A renowned Professor of Law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Professor Itse Sagay, has called on the actors of the Rivers State political crisis to find a common ground.
The learned scholar gave this admonition while fielding questions during an interview on Saturday.
He specifically reprimanded the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for attempting to be minister and de-facto governor at the same time, insisting that Governor Fubara should be allowed to deliver on his mandate in the interest of the Rivers people.
“Since the young man came to power, Wike has been breathing down on him and has not allowed him to work. This is unfortunate because when Wike was in power, nobody breathed down on his neck the way he is doing to Fubara,” Sagay spoke worrisomely.
He further lamented that the political intrigues has slowed down the pace of progress in the state by preventing Fubara from focusing on governance.
“There is no gainsaying the fact that the governor has not been performing optimally because of the distraction this crisis has caused him.
“There is a need for all gladiators to apply the brakes and allow peace to reign in the interest of the people of the state,” Sagay said.
