Joseph Johnson, the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication has confirmed that Governor Siminialayi Fubara has signed the peace treaty in Abuja as summoned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was confirmed on Channels Television as Johnson attested to the signature of the governor on the agreement documents.
Recall that Governor Siminialayi Fubara had had some clashes with members of his in-house cabinets which has led to the defectors of some members of the cabinet to APC. Also, recall that the document was released after President Tinubu met with all the parties in the Rivers State political crisis.
The commissioner also said, the governor will implement the agreement reached because he is committed to the process of peace.
In his words:
“There is nothing to doubt it. We have gone beyond the issue as to who signed, and who didn’t sign.
“The Bible that we all profess says we should pursue peace will all men at all cost. Mr Governor is a stickler for the rules.
“And if His Excellency, the President has intervened, he (Fubara) is not a man of perfidy. He will not say something and do the other.
“In the next couple of hours, I will be unveiling some of the approvals His Excellency has already given as an indication that he is prepared for peace.”
Johnson also said Governor Fubara did not show any form of weakness when he agreed to the decisions during the meeting on Monday, hence all members involved should embrace peace and forge ahead for a better Rivers State.
