In a significant statement made during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State declared that the time for war in the state’s politics is over, stating that it is now time for peace. According to the Governor, Rivers State has been through enough fighting. Fubara’s declaration comes amidst ongoing political tensions and power struggles within the state. The Governor’s call for peace follows recent clashes between rival political factions, which have resulted in violence and loss of life. However, the Governor did not provide details on any specific measures being taken to ensure peace and stability in the state. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Fubara made the declaration during the APC rally in Port Harcourt. It is unclear if other political parties were invited to the rally or if Fubara’s call for peace was directed towards all political actors in the state. It remains to be seen how Fubara’s declaration will be received by other political actors in the state, and whether it will lead to a reduction in political tensions and violence.
