The Rivers Women Unite for SIM, a group that supports Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has warned those with ill-feeling over the reconcilation between the governor and Barr. Nyesom Wike to have a rethink, stressing that peace has finally come to stay.
They said that Wike and Fubara should be commended for agreeing to give peace a chance in the interest of the state, adding that they as women would continue to pray for total healing of both leaders and their followers to sustain the peace.
The women in a statement signed by Christy Sunday and Belema Oningiye said that it was never in the best interest of the state for it’s leaders to be at loggerheads,
adding that the people of the state were not in support of the crisis that rocked the state.
“It is important to call on our people to remain steadfast and to jettison every form of negative tendencies and ill-feelings towards the reconciliation and resolution as mediated by the President.
“We are confident in the process and believe that it will bring lasting peace as one united family and one people with a shared vision of advancing our State.”
“It is our hope that we all adopt the time-tested principle of “no-victor-no-vanquished” to enable us move forward.
“Therefore, we must leave all that has transpired in the past to history and be more hopeful of the future by uniting as a people driven more by the interest of developing and moving our State forward.
“We must commend Mr. President for being a listening father and playing the fatherly role to facilitate the speedy resolution of the political impasse in our State.
“We are certain that in no distant time he will lift the emergency rule and restore all democratic institutions in the state.”.
