It needed the intervention of President Bola Tinubu to broker some level of peace between the two parties on Monday.

Dr. Odili who was the Governor between 1999 and 2007 expressed confidence that Governor Fubara will perform well, judging by his actions so far.

He told Governor Fubara who is the Special Visitor to the institution that governance is not an easy business, but that his institution will continue to hold him in prayers to succeed well
