Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Amid the lingering face-off with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has said his decision to embrace the peace deal brokered by President Bola Tinubu was not borne out of fear.<\/p>\n

Fubara said the decision was taken to ensure that peace reigns in the state.<\/p>\n

He spoke at the maiden state banquet by his administration at the Government House, Port Harcourt, according to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Boniface Onyedi.<\/p>\n

Fubara said his administration would not be enmeshed in any dirty political war that would hinder the promising prospects of development in the state.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cEvery decision that we\u2019ve taken is not borne out of fear but because we have the interest of our people and we have respect for elders.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m appealing to every one of us to embrace peace. We need this peace because our intention for the state is not for our interest but that of the development of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fubara and Wike have been at loggerheads over the political structure in Rivers State.<\/p>\n

The face-off led to some lawmakers of the state assembly defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC, while some commissioners resigned.<\/p>\n

To avert the crisis from further degenerating, President Bola Tinubu had prevailed on the duo to sign a peace pact.<\/p>\n

However, Fubara was criticized for signing the peace deal as some of the terms were allegedly not in his favour.<\/p>\n
