Former member of the House of Representatives from Rivers State, Ogbonna Nwuke, has said the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, is gaining support from more political groups and individuals due to his peaceful disposition.
Nwuke, who represented Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency in the National Assembly between 2011 and 2015, made this disclosure on Tuesday in Port Harcourt.
According to him, all those declaring their support for Fubara are those who want stability, progress and peace in the state, stressing that as one state, there cannot be two governors.
"I think that we want stability in Rivers State. We want the progress of Rivers State and we do want peace in Rivers State. We think that, as the saying goes, you cannot have two governors in a state that is one.
"Our people have looked at it very clearly and critically and we have told ourselves that if you are interested in advancing the interest of self, there is nothing wrong with you playing with those who are in Abuja," he said.
