Rivers elders appeal to Tinubu to lift emergency rule in the state.
The Rivers Elders and Leaders Forum has called on President Bola Tinubu to lift the state of emergency imposed on the state.
The forum made the call in the wake of the recent reconciliation between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
It made the appeal on Thursday during a media briefing in Port Harcourt, describing the political crisis that bedevilled the state over the past few months as a sad development that deeply wounded the soul of the state and “cast an undeserved shadow on our collective image, unity, progress, and prosperity.”
The forum, while thanking President Tinubu for wading into the crisis, lauded both leaders for what they described as a “show of maturity and courage” in embracing peace.
