Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged residents to reflect on the lessons of the six-month emergency rule, emphasising that “the costliest peace is cheaper than the cheapest war.”
In a statewide broadcast on Friday, Fubara recalled the difficulties faced under the emergency rule declared by President Bola Tinubu on March 18, 2025, after months of political turmoil in the state.
He noted that he had cooperated with federal authorities and resisted pressures to question the constitutionality of suspending democratic institutions, choosing instead to prioritise peace, stability, and progress.
“The last six months have been enormously challenging, but they have taught us valuable lessons about unity, patience, and the importance of dialogue. Nothing has been irretrievably lost; there remains ample opportunity for necessary adjustments, continued reconciliation, and inclusiveness,” Fubara said.
He appealed to political leaders, stakeholders, and citizens to treat the period as a new beginning and avoid returning to division.
“Let us rise above bitterness and channel our energies into rebuilding trust, fostering inclusiveness, and securing a peaceful and prosperous State for all,” he added.
