In the midst of the State House of Assembly’s ongoing impeachment process against him and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has called for peace in the state.

At the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day church service at St. Cyprian’s Anglican Church in Port Harcourt, Governor Fubara made the announcement.

In response to the lawmakers’ threats, the governor urged the state’s citizens to maintain composure and reassured them that everything would be alright.

Fubara clarified that he deliberately chose to keep quiet in the face of distractions, citing his faith in God as a source of strength.

In his words

“I said something that dogs bark when they don’t understand. Now, see, a lot of you don’t understand, and that’s the reason why I don’t shout, I don’t complain. I know what I have.

I know that I have what is supreme, and that is God. So, I want everyone to be relaxed. What is important is peace for these dear states, and we’ll get it by the special name of God.”
