The feuding Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, have been urged to sheathe their swords and embrace peace for the smooth development of the State.

The advice came from a nongovernmental organization, Power Arc Media, in view of the N78 billion refunded to the State Government by the Federal Government in respect of federal roads rehabilitated in Rivers State.

The group commended Wike’s estranged predecessor, Amaechi, who is believed to have facilitated the gesture to Rivers state.

According to a statement issued by the organisation in Abuja: “By this development, the Federal Government has extended the olive branch to Rivers State and indeed smoothened the hitherto frosty relationship between Amaechi and his successor Nyesom Wike .

“A harmonious relationship between and among political leaders is the needed ingredient for meaningful development in the country”, while urging Amaechi and Wike to sustain the peace move in the interest of the State and Nigeria at large.

The statement signed by the group’s Director of Operations, Mr. Tedd Avindigh, also showered encomiums on President Muhammadu Buhari for approving the release of the refund.

He said that “by this gesture, President Buhari has demonstrated statesmanship and unbiased stance on the welfare and wellbeing of all Nigerians”.
