President Bola Tinubu has commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers for his efforts to peacefully resolve the political challenges in the state.
Tinubu made this call on Tuesday during a meeting with the Nigeria Governors Forum, at his residence in Lagos.
“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,” he said.
Tinubu further noted that the federal and sub-national governments have the mutual responsibility of ensuring the country’s peace and stability.
The president reiterated his condemnation of the latest killings in Plateau State.
Addressing the governors, the president issued a stern directive to security agencies to halt the carnage in Plateau State and intensify the pursuit of those responsible for the recent tragic events in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas.
Condoling with the victims, Tinubu emphasised the sanctity of human life and called for a paradigm shift among those with contrary beliefs, cautioning them about the inevitable consequences of their actions.
“Nigeria needs peace and stability to move forward. Nigeria belongs to all of us, and we have to take care of it,” he said.
