Rivers Emergency Rule: Peace Is Symbol Of Unity And Progress For Our State – Gov Fubara

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has harped on the significance of peace following his return to governance after his six-month suspension.

Fubara made the comment on Sunday at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Opobo Town, headquarters of Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area of Rivers State.

He disclosed that prayers and intercessions have been the pillar of his strength and will remain critical in his efforts to serve the people of the state.

In a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara said, “I am here together with my wife this first Sunday after the suspension of the state of emergency. We cannot thank God enough as a family. Our being here is private; we came simply to worship in our home church. When my story ends, this church will lead me to my next journey.

“So, it is important that I come here to say thank you quietly before the Almighty God for what He has done, what He is doing, and what He will continue to do, not just for me and my family, but for this State and Nigeria.”

“The greatest gift anyone can wish for is peace. Peace in the home prevents sickness and worry. Peace in the community attracts development. Peace within yourself promotes good health. Truly, peace is the most important thing.

“I urge everyone to hold peace dear as a symbol of unity and a foundation for the progress of our dear state,” he added.
