Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has dismissed narratives that the state is in crisis and not peaceful, labelling such narratives as false and the product of mischief-makers.
Speaking to newsmen, Fubara said: “And to also tell Nigerians that Rivers state is peaceful, you can see that we are moving about inspecting projects, as against what you see on the screens of your television, that, ‘police are everywhere, we don’t move about anymore, and Rivers state is under siege’.
“We are not under siege. Our state is free and peaceful. If there is any problem in the state, I know quite well that Nigerians know where the problem is coming from, not from us.
“We are peace-loving people. It is already written all over us. Our actions and our deeds have confirmed that we are peace-loving people.
“We will continue to maintain the peace that we promised everyone for the betterment of the good people of Rivers State.”
