Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared that the political crisis in the state was over after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja.
Fubara, who resumed office on September 19 following the lifting of his suspension, said he visited the President to first brief him and express gratitude before settling fully into his duties.
Speaking with State House correspondents on Monday evening after the closed-door meeting, the governor described his meeting with the President as a “father-son discussion.”
“Ideally, it’s proper for me to see Mr. President and to tell him that I’m back, and I’ve also resumed my responsibility as the Governor of Rivers State.
“It’s not much. It’s father-son discussion, telling him thank you and the areas where, if at all, there should be any issue for him to guide me properly so we don’t be in any situation of crisis,” he said.
Speaking on the president’s response, Governor Fubara said President Tinubu offered him advice on good governance and sustainability of stability in the State.
He ruled out worries on concerns over the truce in the state insisting that the peace was genuine.
“I don’t know what you mean by if this is a paper peace. As far as I’m concerned, we have made peace. Fubara and his principal are working together. Thank you,” he added
