Tonye Cole, the 2023 Rivers State gubernatorial candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), is calling for peace talks between former governors Peter Odili, Rotimi Amaechi, and Nyesom Wike and current governor Siminalayi Fubara.

He believes their deep-rooted internal conflicts are the source of the ongoing unrest in Rivers state, and their failure to sit together on the round table would continue to create violence in the oil-rich state.

Rivers LG election: Wike, Fubara's rift escalated

The statesman's comment comes amid the escalated tension between Governor Fubara's camp and his estranged godfather, Wike, following the outcome of the local government elections, which led to violence and the burning of council secretariats.

Cole, in an interview on Arise TV, expressed frustration with the culture of violence in Rivers politics, stating that without change, the state will continue to see violence and unrest.

He emphasized that Rivers State is always in the news for the wrong reasons despite being blessed with many positive attributes.

His statement reads in part:

"This is a local government election, full violence at play, and we’re expecting peace? No, it can’t happen. Rivers State, we will see this over and over again until the actors sit down and talk.”
