Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has responded to the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
In a press statement on Tuesday, Fubara expressed his commitment to upholding constitutional order and ensuring the security and progress of the state despite ongoing political tensions.
He noted that his administration had acted in good faith by implementing the terms of the peace agreement brokered by President Bola Tinubu, including reinstating commissioners who had previously resigned. Additionally, his government swiftly complied with the Supreme Court's judgment to restore normalcy.
However, Fubara accused the Rivers State House of Assembly of obstructing efforts to achieve genuine peace and development. He maintained that, despite political disagreements, his administration continued to ensure good governance, prompt salary payments, and infrastructural progress, emphasizing that Rivers State remained safe and stable.
He urged residents to remain peaceful and law-abiding, assuring them that his team would engage relevant institutions to uphold democracy and safeguard the state’s interests.
Fubara concluded by reaffirming his faith in the democratic process and the resilience of the Rivers people.
