Amid the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, former First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan, has entreated Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state and Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to give peace a chance. 

The former first lady made this appeal while speaking at the 60th anniversary of the Nigeria Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) international colloquium in Abuja on Thursday.

Speaking on the theme, ‘Public Relations, Value Re-orientation and Economic Transformation,’ Patience Jonathan urged the warring parties to allow the present administration of Rivers State to run smoothly without interference.
