Niger Delta women plead for peace

Niger Delta women under the aegis of the Voice of Niger Delta for Equity and Justice, along with the International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA), have appealed to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and Governor Siminalayi Fubara to end the lingering political crisis in Rivers State.
Recall that there has been a strained relationship between Fubara and his erstwhile political godfather, throwing the state into chaos.
The state House of Assembly has been divided into two factions as members loyal to the FCT Minister continue to engage in a political war against Fubara’s administration.
Expressing disappointment over the crisis in Rivers State, the groups at a press conference in Abuja on Monday urged Fubara and Wike to sheath their swords for the interest of peace and development in the state.
