Siminalayi Fubara, the suspended governor of Rivers State, has cautioned his followers, Rivers State residents, and Nigerians to express gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his prompt action in rescuing the state from impending chaos brought on by the brewing political crisis.
In a statement released Thursday by his chief press secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara also said that the peace and reconciliation process was proceeding as planned, with the goal of restoring himself, his deputy, and all elected members of the State House of Assembly.
He said, “democracy and good governance will soon return to the state, with both arms working together for the good of the people.”
Fubara also said, “I want to assure you that the issues will soon be resolved, and you will return to your offices, not just in the Executive arm, but also the Legislative arm.
“And 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.”
Fubara said the political problem could have become worse, thus the people of Rivers State should thank the president for stepping in.
He urged the populace to maintain their composure so that the state could proceed and the reconciliation process might be successful.
He said, “We are already in the peace process. I want you to thank Mr. President for his timely intervention in salvaging the situation and stabilising the polity and the state. If not for Mr. President, the story today would have been different.
“I don’t know how he gets his information, but the truth is that he acted with wisdom at the right time. He is the one you should thank.
“And let me also thank him personally for his intervention, and the personalities across the country who appealed to him to intervene.
“We have to come down from our high horses and commit 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 interest of the state is paramount.”
