Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has called on members of the State House of Assembly to prioritize the interests of the people and embrace peace to resolve the ongoing political impasse in the state.
Speaking on Thursday while commissioning projects in Okrika Local Government Area, Fubara emphasized the need for stability to enable effective governance.
“It is important at this stage that we all embrace peace,” he said. “The Supreme Court has made its judgment, and we have no option but to abide by it. By the special grace of God, we have started the process.”
He urged all political actors in the state to put past grievances behind them and focus on implementing the Supreme Court’s February 28, 2025, decisions.
“We are appealing to other parties: consider the interest of Rivers State. The only thing we owe this state is peace and development,” he added. “I am open any day, any time for total peace in our state because if I have to govern well, there is the need for peace.”
