Rivers Women Declare Support for Fubara, Celebrate Peace Accord with Wike

Women under the aegis of Rivers Women Unite for Sim (RWUS) have declared their full support for the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, pledging to stand by him through any political transition.

The group made this known on Sunday during a thanksgiving service in Port Harcourt to celebrate the recent reconciliation between Governor Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Dressed in pink outfits to symbolize unity and joy, the women sang, danced, and offered prayers of gratitude, describing the peace accord as a long-awaited breakthrough for the state’s political stability.

They commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Fubara, and Minister Wike for prioritizing the interest of Rivers State and fostering dialogue to resolve the protracted crisis.

Florence Itamunoala, a retired Director in the Ministry of Justice and one of the leaders of the group, reaffirmed their confidence in Fubara’s leadership.

“He has asked us to embrace peace, and we will follow him anywhere,” she said. “We believe in his leadership, and we know this reconciliation is for the good of the Rivers people.”

Pastor Nancy Nwankwo, the group’s spiritual leader, led prayers for the Governor’s return to office and expressed hope that the political turbulence would soon end.

The women described the reconciliation as not merely a political milestone but also a spiritual victory, urging residents to remain calm, united, and hopeful as Rivers State moves forward.
