Peace pact not as bad as being portrayed, I’ll implement it – Fubara

 Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has pledged to
fully implement the comprehensive presidential peace agreement aimed at
resolving the ongoing political crisis in the state.

 

In a statewide broadcast on Monday , the governor reaffirmed
his belief that no price is too high for peace to prevail in the region.

 

He said, “As a principal participant in the entire saga, I
have taken some time to study the terms therein and have come to the conclusion
that the peace pact is not as bad as it is being portrayed by those genuinely
opposed to it.”

 

He added that the peace pact, which has naturally elicited
mixed reactions from people across the country, is not a death sentence but a
way towards lasting peace and stability in the state.

 

“Accordingly, I reaffirm my acceptance of the presidential
peace proclamation and my commitment to implementing both the spirit and
letters of the declaration in such a way and manner that will restore political
stability to our dear state without compromising the collective interest of our
people and our cherished and shared democratic values.

“Already, both parties have demonstrated some good faith in
the implementation process with the withdrawal of the purported impeachment
notice on their part, and the release of hitherto withheld allowances of the
members of the atate House of Assembly by the government,” he stated.

 

The governor thanked President Bola Tinubu for his
intervention, highlighting that the gesture reflects his deep affection for the
state.

 

He asserted, “Indeed, by this singular effort, our dear
President has demonstrated that he loves Rivers State and cherishes nothing
short of a reign of perfect peace in our state with his Presidential Peace
Proclamation on the 18th of December 2023.”

 

Speaking on the Christmas celebration, Fubara urged  residents of the state to embrace the
exemplary values of Jesus Christ, emphasising the importance of selflessness,
genuine love, and true forgiveness as outlined in his teachings.

 

“By the grace of God, 2024 will witness a speedy
transformation of our State with the completion of most of our projects and
programmes, such as sections of the Port Harcourt Ring Road, the Andoni section
of the Unity Road, the Ahoada-Omoku Road, the Emohua-Degema Road, etc, and the
commencement of many other laudable projects, both in infrastructure and human
capital development, as outlined in our 2024 budget,” Fubara declared.
