Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has called for a
peaceful atmosphere, saying the state is undergoing a difficult period.
Fubara said a peaceful atmosphere would enable his
administration to achieve its development strides.
The governor spoke against the background of the rift battle
between him and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, which led to political tension in
the state.
He said his administration can’t achieve any progress in a
violent atmosphere.
He spoke during the funeral service of late King Theophilus
J.T. Princewill, Amachree XI, the Amanyanabo and Natural Ruler of the Kalabari
Kingdom, held at the King Amachree Square in Buguma Town, Asari Toru Local
Government Area on Thursday.
According to Fuabara: “We are in a difficult period, but
just be peaceful. We cannot achieve progress in an environment of violence. We
cannot grow our State to the level of our aspirations when there is trouble.
“We can only advance to our dream State in a peaceful
environment. I urge every one of you to be peaceful. Peace is the only
instrument that can bring development.”
