Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Sunday, disclosed that the current political crisis in the state was about control of resources.
Fubara, however, assured that his administration will ensure the protection of state resources.
But former First lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, urged Christians and Nigerians, at large, to pray to God for the peace of Rivers State.
The governor and the former first lady spoke as they celebrated the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) Worldwide, Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, on his 51st birthday and 18th anniversary celebration of the church at Aluu, Rivers State.
In another development, the Rivers State Police command dismissed a rumour that security operatives attached to Fubara had a fracas with some military officers loyal to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Speaking at the occasion, Fubara assured Rivers people that he will continue to utilise the state’s resources judiciously for their betterment and overall interest. He asked for continuous prayers from the church and the people in the state.
Fubara said his administration would remain focused on achieving the purpose of governance.
