Rivers Gov, Fubara Apologizes Over State Crisis

Elsewhere, the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has apologized to the people of the state over the recent political crisis in the state.

He described the crisis as “regrettable anxieties of the last few days,” saying it was important to make sacrifices for peace to reign.

Fubara also disclosed this in a statement he signed, titled ‘Peace is priceless’, which was issued to newsmen on Saturday in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Recalling the bombing of the state House of Assembly complex and the division among lawmakers, the governor explained that his visit to the House was to assess the level of damage caused by the fire and undertake remedial measures to protect lives and property within the assembly complex.

He also thanked President Bola Tinubu for his intervention, which he said opened a series of communication channels aimed at arriving at a peaceful resolution of the crisis.

The governor added that no sacrifice was too much for him to make, saying it is the collective responsibility of his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, and himself, to use their positions to advance the progress, security and well-being of the people.
