Fubara Reveals Eye-Opening Lessons From Six Months Of Political Suspension

In a statewide broadcast on Friday, Fubara emphasized that even the most expensive peace is far cheaper than the least costly war. He reflected on the challenges the state faced during the six-month emergency rule imposed by President Bola Tinubu on March 18, 2025, amid a prolonged political crisis.

The past six months have been extremely challenging, but they have imparted valuable lessons on patience, dialogue, and unity. Nothing is permanently lost; there is still ample opportunity for reconciliation, inclusiveness, and necessary adjustments,” Fubara stated.

The governor called on political leaders, stakeholders, and citizens to see this moment as a fresh start, urging them to rise above bitterness and work toward rebuilding trust, fostering inclusiveness, and ensuring a peaceful and prosperous Rivers State.

Fubara also declared that normalcy has been fully restored in the state. Addressing supporters at the Government House in Port Harcourt, he thanked them for their unwavering support during his six-month suspension.

“I am grateful to everyone who contributed to restoring normalcy in Rivers State. I know you all expected to hear from me, and I assure you that, by the grace of God, we will continue delivering the things that earned your love and trust,” the governor said.
