The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for restoring democratic governance to Rivers State by lifting the emergency rule imposed on the state.

Wike, who said Tinubu has once again demonstrated his total commitment to peace and sustenance of democracy in the country, noted that the president’s proactive action saved Rivers State.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the minister said Tinubu’s intervention has further restored the confidence of the people of Rivers State in his leadership.

Wike called on all stakeholders in Rivers State to work together harmoniously in the collective interest of the state and its people.

The minister, who cautioned troublemakers, especially fifth columnists who are always seeking to benefit from crisis to stay away from the state, added: “From Rivers State going forward, the only news that will emanate will be that of peace, progress, and development.”
