Bishop Calls for Peace Amid Rivers State Political Crisis.

Bishop Sunday Ndukwo Onuoha, a preacher of the Methodist Church Nigeria, has voiced concern that Nigeria’s democracy may be engulfed by the present political conflict in Rivers State between the state governor, Sim Fubara, and the current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

In response to the latest Supreme Court decision, Bishop Onuoha stated that it might have an impact on good government and cause hardship for the average citizenry. Because of their self-serving political interests, he cautioned Nigeria’s political elite against overheating the country.

“I will only advise all involved in the Rivers crisis to give peace a chance.

“I have sat down and wondered why this issue has not been resolved through round table discussions. Is it actually a way to make our democracy grow? For me, there is nothing democratic in this. My worry is what happens next” Onuoha said.

He also urged the people of Rivers State to protect democracy.
