Suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has urged his supporters to accept a peace deal with political rival and former ally, Nyesom Wike. He said reconciliation is the only path to long-term progress, even if it demands a “heavy sacrifice.”
- Fubara addressed the Simplified Family group in Port Harcourt, appealing for unity.
- He acknowledged Wike’s role in his emergence and urged supporters to embrace reconciliation.
- Fubara said true peace can’t be brokered without both parties sitting down together.
- He promised not to abandon his loyalists, despite tensions.
- The call comes after a closed-door meeting with President Tinubu in Abuja.
Fubara’s message signals not defeat, but the weight of leadership. In a state exhausted by political battles, the real cost may be pride.
