Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, has said that his counterpart in Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has ‘resolved’ the age-long Soku Oil well dispute between the two states.
Diri disclosed this in Port Harcourt on Saturday during a Yuletide visit to Fubara.
According to him, Rivers and Bayelsa have been living in peace since the emergence of Fubara.
He noted that both states have agreed to go back to the status quo for peace.
“Rivers and Bayelsa are one. Since you came on board, both states have been peaceful. Now we have understanding even in areas where we had issues.
“For instance, the Soku oil well. We have agreed to go back to the status quo before the crisis, and there is peace now. That matter is out of court,” he said.
The N25 billion worth Soku gas processing plant has been a subject of dispute between Rivers and Bayelsa since 1996.
