The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike assured peace has returned to Rivers.

‎He said he spoke with Governor Sim Fubara, who is ready to return to Rivers State after the six-month emergency rule.

‎President Bola Tinubu suspended Fubara, his Deputy, Mrs Ngozi Odu and the House of Assembly in March following a protracted political crisis between the Governor and his predecessor.

‎Fubara was not in the country when President Tinubu suspended the emergency rule on Wednesday.

‎Speaking during an interview on Channels Television Politics Today monitored by our correspondent, Wike said: ““As I speak to you, as of yesterday, I spoke to the Governor (Fubara). I told him I was leaving that night to come back, and he told me he was leaving this morning,” Wike said on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

‎“So, I can tell you that, by the grace of God, peace has returned. And look at what the Assembly did today to set the tone — you can see peace; you can see we are prepared, for the interest of the state. Let’s move forward”.
