Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has called on his supporters to support a new peace agreement aimed at resolving the political tensions between him and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. He made the appeal during a meeting with his political group, the Simplified Family, in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
Fubara stated that although the political struggle had been intense, it was time to put differences aside in the interest of lasting peace. He reiterated his belief that no cost is too great when it comes to achieving peace and development in the state.
Reflecting on his strained relationship with Wike, the governor acknowledged the former governor’s influence and role in the political landscape. He said true reconciliation could only be achieved if both parties come together willingly to resolve their issues.
The governor also assured his supporters that he would remain loyal to them throughout the process, emphasizing that their commitment would not be in vain. However, he warned that the journey toward full peace would come with tough decisions and urged everyone to be prepared.
His comments followed a recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja, which is part of federal efforts to restore political stability in Rivers State.
Fubara ended by encouraging all stakeholders to accept the peace process, no matter how uncomfortable it may seem, for the sake of the state’s progress and unity.
