President Bola Tinubu received members of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and givernors of the 36 states in Nigeria, praising Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State for committing himself to peace in the state.

Tinubu spoke when he received the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) members on Tuesday, December 26, at his residence in Lagos after their meeting at the Lagos House, Marina.

During the visit, President Bola Tinubu addressed several issues faced in the country, one of which was the crisis in Rivers as a result of a rift between the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and Governor Fubara.

The political crisis in Rivers State rose to a climax, when President Tinubu intervened and resolved it in a seven-point agreement between the combatants.

During the NGF’s visit, Tinubu heaped praise on Governor Fubara for his statesmanship.

He told the governor, “I thank you for your statesmanship. I listened to your broadcast and your emphasis on peace. It is only with peace that effective governance can thrive, and governance has commenced in earnest under my watch.”
