Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has described his reconciliation with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as a step in the right direction, acknowledging Wike’s pivotal role in his emergence as governor.
Addressing his supporters on Saturday, Governor Fubara said the reconciliation was long overdue and urged those who believe in his leadership to accept the peace move. He emphasized that no price is too high for peace and stability in the state.
Fubara admitted that the prolonged political crisis had negatively affected governance, leading to the abandonment of road and infrastructure projects. He noted that significant developmental strides could have been achieved if the dispute had not persisted.
The governor also reassured his supporters that he remains committed to their welfare, stressing that political appointments are not the only way to serve or be recognized.
The reconciliation has, however, sparked mixed reactions among supporters. While some loyalists expressed feelings of betrayal, others welcomed the move as a necessary step to restore unity and progress in the state.
