The former PDP chairman made the call in a statement on Wednesday by his media adviser, Ike Abonyi
Secondus, reacting to last Saturday’s local government elections in Rivers state, reminded Tinubu of the state's importance.
Recall that Governor Fubara warned that oil production in the state is under threat due to escalating violence and attacks.
This warning comes after thugs set ablaze four local government secretariats on Monday, October 7.
Fubara emphasized the need for peace, stating that further violence could disrupt oil production.
But Secondus in a statement by his media aide on Wednesday:
“He (Secondus) reminded the Federal Government of the strategic importance of Rivers state hosting critical assets of the nation.
“Prince Secondus advised President Tinubu to work with Governor Fubara to protect these assets,” the statement read.
The ex-PDP chieftain commended Fubara for standing out for democracy and providing leadership to his people when it was very necessary by refusing to be intimidated.
