A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus, has called on President Bola Tinubu to restore the suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to power.

Secondus added that this is the only way the people’s mandate would be upheld in the state.
The PDP chieftain made the call in an Easter message released through his Special Adviser on Media, Ike Abonyi, on Sunday.
According to him, the activities of the Rivers Sole Administrator, Ibok-Ete Ibas, have set the state on a keg of gunpowder.
This comes a few days after the Ad-Hoc Committee on Rivers State oversight invited Ibas to appear before it for an interactive session regarding the state’s affairs.
“The President should be guided by the voice of reason by restoring Governor Similaya Fubara, who has the mandate of the people.
“The Sole Administrator’s activities have set Rivers State on a keg of gunpowder, and I weep for my state. Sadly, Rivers State has found itself on the ugly side of history over the control of Resources and the state by one man,” the statement read.
Secondus further praised the Ijaw nation for their restraint, noting, “My special appreciation goes to the Ijaw nation, its leaders and people, the indisputable fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria with over 30 LGAs across seven states, for managing the provocations.”
Additionally, he urged Christians to embody Christ’s love and piety.
“Easter period reminds us of brotherly love, peaceful co-existence, tolerance, honesty, humility, justice, equity and fairness to all without discrimination as contained in the Scriptures,” he said.
Recall that Tinubu had in March declared a state of emergency in Rivers State following the prolonged political crisis in the oil-rich state.
Following the declaration, Tinubu also suspended Fubara, his deputy, and the members of the State Assembly.
