Embattled Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara, has called for calm in the state amid the ongoing political crisis. Fubara’s face-off with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, led to President Bola Tinubu suspending him for six months and declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State.

 

In a statement he personally signed, Fubara stated, “I address you today with a deep sense of responsibility and calm, as we navigate this unfortunate moment in our state’s political history. Since assuming office as your governor, we have prioritised the protection of lives and property and ensured the continuous progress of our dear state.”
