The suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has appealed to the state’s residents to prioritize peace, unity, and a shared dedication to developing a more robust state.
In his Easter message issued on Saturday, Fubara characterized the season as a time for “reconciliation and unity,” encouraging the people to let the peace of Christ deeply reside in their hearts and be evident in their everyday interactions.
“Easter is a sacred season of reconciliation and unity. It is a time when the peace of Christ dwells richly in our hearts, restoring relationships, comforting the afflicted, feeding the hungry, and healing the brokenhearted.
“It is a time to reaffirm our shared belief that peace shall overcome war, and that even shattered dreams can find new life in the light of the resurrection,” he said.
Fubara reiterated his commitment to effective governance, assuring the people that under his leadership, the state will continue its path towards progress and positive change.
“This season renews our confidence that nothing — neither hardship, nor adversity, nor even death — can separate us from the love of God in Christ. In Him, we remain victorious.
“I reiterate my unwavering commitment to delivering good governance to the resilient and dignified people of Rivers State,” he stated.

He encouraged the people of Rivers State to continue supporting President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, expressing optimism for the future.
“Therefore, I call on the good people of Rivers State to continue to support and align with the Renewed Hope Agenda of our dear President, His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, while looking forward to a better tomorrow,”
“Let us not lose sight of our collective strength. The transformation we all desire is achievable when we act together as one people under God, committed to peace, unity, and progress.”
The suspended governor extended his prayers for peace, love, and renewed strength to families throughout the state, wishing all Christians a joyous Easter celebration.
It’s important to note that President Tinubu announced the appointment of Vice Admiral Ibok-ete Ibas (rtd.) as the sole administrator of Rivers State on March 18, 2025, coinciding with his declaration of a state of emergency in the state and the suspension of Fubara, Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu, and the Rivers State House of Assembly members.
Tinubu based his decision on Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution, stating that he could not stand by and watch the political situation in Rivers escalate without taking action. However, the president’s decision has been met with significant criticism.
