Ibas made this appeal during a meeting on Tuesday with the leadership of CAN’s Rivers State chapter at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
The meeting coincided with renewed protests by hundreds of supporters of suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, who have taken to the streets for the second consecutive week, demanding his reinstatement following the emergency rule declared by President Bola Tinubu.
During the meeting, Ibas highlighted the crucial role of the church in fostering moral guidance and societal stability.
In a statement by his Senior Special Adviser, Hector Igbikiowubo, Ibas briefed CAN on his mandate: to restore law and order in Rivers State, stabilize the political climate, and pave the way for the return of democratic governance.
Since taking office on March 20, 2025, Ibas has engaged with civil society groups, traditional rulers, and local government officials to rebuild trust and foster cooperation.
He urged CAN to use its influence to preach peace, promote unity across ethnic and political divides, and encourage forgiveness and reconciliation.
“The unity of the church is the foundation for the unity of the state. When the church leads with love, the people will follow in peace,” Ibas stated.
He assured the religious leaders that his administration remained focused on the people, accessible, and committed to justice and equity, emphasizing that sustainable peace would require collective efforts rooted in dialogue and understanding.
Reflecting on his Easter message, Ibas urged religious leaders to remain “steadfast in prayer and bold in truth,” expressing confidence that with CAN’s support and divine guidance, Rivers State would emerge stronger and more united.
