Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has aligned himself with the presidential peace treaty brokered by President Bola Tinubu in a bid to douse political instability in the state.
The governor, in the true spirit of Christmas, said he is committed in implementing the peace pact, stating that “the peace pact is not as bad as it might be portrayed.”
In his Christmas message to the people on Monday, Fubara pointed out that the peace accord is not a “death sentence” but a pathway towards reinstating political stability in Rivers State.
He said,:“As a principal participant in the entire saga, I have taken some time to study the terms therein and have come to the conclusion that the Peace Pact is not as bad as it is being portrayed by those genuinely opposed to it.
“It is certainly not a death sentence. It offers some way towards a lasting peace and stability in our dear state.
” Accordingly, I reaffirm my acceptance of the Presidential Peace Proclamation and my commitment to implementing both the spirit and letters of the declaration in such a way and manner that will restore political stability to our dear State without compromising the collective interest of our people and our cherished and shared democratic values.
“Let me also use this opportunity to express our profound gratitude to our dear President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, HIs Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, GCFR, for wading into the near crisis situation that almost punctuated the prevailing peace in our dear state.”
Fubara pointed out: “Indeed, by this singular effort, our dear President has demonstrated that he loves Rivers State and cherishes nothing short of a reign of perfect peace in our state with his Presidential Peace Proclamation on the 18th of December 2023.”
