Governor Siminalayi Fubara has declared that he is prioritising peace and reconciliation over personal pride and political power in order to restore stability in Rivers State.

Speaking on Thursday during a meeting with leaders of the Simplified Movement in Port Harcourt, the governor said efforts are already underway to resolve the state’s lingering political crisis.

He expressed confidence that both the executive and legislative arms of government will soon be back on track.

“I want to assure you that the issues will soon be resolved, and you will come back to your offices. Not just at the executive arm, but also the legislative arm,” he said.

Fubara also made a strong call for unity, urging stakeholders to embrace forgiveness.

According to him, “I also believe that the strong relationships we had before will return and we will begin to work together again for the good and progress of the state. What is important is for us to have a forgiving spirit. We are already in the peace process.”

He gave special credit to President Bola Tinubu, whose involvement, he said, arrived at a crucial time. “I don’t know how he [Tinubu] gets his information, but the truth is that he acted wisely at the right time,” Fubara stated.

Okay.ng reports that the governor described the president’s role as decisive, adding that he personally appreciates the intervention.

“He is the one you should thank. And let me also thank him personally for his intervention and the personalities across the country who moved in and appealed to him to intervene,” he said.

The governor reflected on the difficult path to reconciliation and the need for humility from all sides. “We have to come down from our high horses and subject ourselves to the peace process. And that is what we are doing,” Fubara explained.

“What is important is for the state to move forward. It is not about you — the state’s interest is paramount.”

In what appeared to be an olive branch to his political godfather and predecessor, Nyesom Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Fubara was optimistic about mending fences.

“There is no reason why there will not be peace between me and my Oga. There will be peace. We are meeting. We will reconcile,” he concluded.
