Rivers State Elder statesman, Anabs Sara Igbe, has said that the photo circulating online insinuating that the Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has gone to beg the former governor, Nyesom Wike, is an old photo and should be disregarded.

In a statement, the Elder statesman said the photo was taken during the INEC declaration of Governor Fubara as the winner of the Gubernatorial Election.

Sara Igbe urged the public to disregard the insinuations. He, however, said there is nothing wrong in soliciting and pursuing the path of peace based on truth, fairness, justice, and respect for one another.

The Elder statesman said the country operates a constitutional democracy and not an intimidation and oppressive democracy.
