How would this unity affect positively on the lives of the Rivers people positively? If the unity, so to say, is to alleviate the sufferings of the good people of Rivers state, why not?, But if it is to make one man happy against millions of Rivers people. Holy Ghost Fire 🔥

Rivers State is running a parliamentary system. Fubara is the governor, while Wike is the premier. Wike makes the appointments while Fubara makes the announcement.
