Public affairs analyst Oladeinde Ariyo has appealed for calm in the midst of Rivers State's political unrest. He claimed that Governor Sim Fubara would perform far better in the absence of a crisis.
In a video that TVC posted, Ariyo expressed his desire to not be in Fubara's shoes. He claimed that the difficulties he would face if he were in Fubara's shoes would prevent him from getting any sleep.
He claimed that he detests confrontations and finds it unpleasant to argue with people.
Ariyo also wondered why past governors, including Rotimi Amaechi and Peter Odili, could not set aside their disagreements in order to mediate the conflict between Governor Fubara and former Governor Wike.
According to Ariyo, "I don't pray to be Fubara at this point because I won't be able to sleep; I don't like crises. I don't like having issues with people. If you take it at that point, you will know that it is not yet a good day for Rivers State and Rivers people."
"I still don't understand why Peter Odili and Amaechi cannot bury whatever hatchet there is between them and call Wike and Fubara and resolve their dispute."
