Tinubu rescued Rivers with emergency rule, says Fubara

 Declaration of emergency rule by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu saved Rivers State from “looming anarchy”, suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara said yesterday.

He said the President’s swift intervention shielded the state from the consequences of the festering political crisis.

Calling on his supporters, Rivers people and Nigerians to commend Tinubu for acting with wisdom at the right time, Fubara noted that the peace and reconciliation process required to restore all executive and legislative institutions and offices in the state was underway.

He assured that democracy and good governance would soon return in the state, with both arms working together for the good of the people.

A statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Nelson Chukwudi, said the suspended governor spoke at a meeting with leaders and stakeholders of the Simplified Movement as part of activities to mark his two years in office in Port Harcoere underway.

Fubara said: “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 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.”
