Rivers crisis: Reconciliation process is advancing towards restoring democratic order – Fubara

Siminalayi Fubara, the suspended governor of Rivers, says he has set aside pride and personal interests to restore peace in the state.

In a statement issued by Nelson Chukwudi, his chief press secretary (CPS), Fubara spoke on Thursday at a meeting with leaders of the Simplified Movement in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers.

Fubara said a reconciliation process is advancing towards restoring democratic order in the state.

“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.

“I don’t know how he [Tinubu] gets his information, but the truth is that he acted wisely at the right time,” he said.

“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.

“We have to come down from our high horses and subject ourselves to the peace process. And that is what we are doing.

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

Fubara said he is reconciling with Nyesom Wike, his predecessor and minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), whom he referred to as his boss.
