- He stated that those who deemed his honest decision to implement the presidential peace pact as a sign of weakness were in for a surprise
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has reaffirmed his commitment to finding lasting solution to the political crisis rocking the state.
He warned that anyone who dares him or stands in the way of his efforts to restore peace in the state will be dealt with.
Fubara’s warning was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Nelson Chukwudi,
Fubara disclosed that he had been inundated with comments in the media about the implementation of the peace initiative but chose to be silent out of maturity and wisdom.
He stated that those who deemed his honest decision to implement the presidential peace pact as a sign of weakness were in for a surprise.
The governor said that the peace deal initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and accepted by all stakeholders was a political solution to the crisis that engulfed the state on October 30, 2023.
Fubara noted that the commencement of the implementation of the agreement was spurred by his respect for the President.
“Let me say it here for record purposes: What is happening here in our dear State is somebody who has respect for an elder.
“Mr. President invited all the parties to Abuja and came out with a resolution that we should go and implement. That resolution, I am implementing. It is not a constitutional implementation. It is a political solution to a problem.
“And I am doing it because of the respect I have for Mr President. But, let me say it here, if that action that I have accepted to take would be seen as a weakness, I will surprise them. I want this message to go to them,” the governor said
