Developing Story: Pro-Fubara Groups To Go Into Political Extinction As Peace, Normalcy Gradually Returns

• Fubara orders supporters to disband all support groups

By PHC Telegraph

Governor Siminalayi Fubara who is expected to return to office anytime from now has disbanded all friendly support groups formed during the period of crisis, including the Simplified Movement.

The move is part of efforts to ensure that the members of Fubara’s political family and those loyal to the FCT Minister embrace the reintegration process agreed upon in the presence of President Bola Tinubu.

The State Governor who gave the directive while addressing a meeting of stakeholders in Port Harcourt Saturday afternoon said that for him, there is no going back on the implementation of the peace plan.

Fubara recalled that Wike had contributed immensely to his emergence  as governor, remembering with great nostalgia, how supporters of the FCT Minister and those close to him worked together before the crisis to win the 2023 election.

He acknowledged that some of the reports in the media have been grossly exaggerated and admitted that he has fully reconciled with the FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly led by Speaker Martins Amaehule.

He confirmed that given what has played out between them, Wike  may not be obliged to support him after he serves out his first tenure.

Fubara further affirmed that he would not struggle over the control of local councils in the  state if such an offer would consolidate the peace effort.

The Governor urged his supporters to back the peace deal, describing it as the option which would put the State on a progressive path and lead to the return of normalcy.

He reiterated that no price is too big to pay to ensure that Rivers people have a peaceful environment which inspires development, growth and progress.
