Governor Siminalayi Fubara

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has spoken up after the peace resolution between him and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

He stated that there is no price too great for him to pay for peace to reign in the state.

The governor made this known while addressing a special convocation ceremony at the Pamo University of Medical Sciences on Tuesday, December 19.

Recall that Fubara and Nyesom Wike’s feud split lawmakers in the House with 27 of them defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a party in which central government Wike currently serves as minister. It also saw 9 commissioners of his cabinet tendering their resignation.

“Let me say this to my dear state. I call you my dear state because the support you have shown to me within this period is unmeasurable. Ordinarily, I don’t even know them or have any contact with them but they stood by me. There is no amount that is too big to pay for peace. I will continue to pay it.” he said
