Fubara gave the assurance on Saturday at the funeral reception of the late King Nelson Atubo Oputibeya XI, Amanyanabo of Koniju Town, in Koniju Town in Okrika Local Government Area.
The governor said one area of mutual cooperation solicited from the Rivers people is to maintain peace so that his administration can continue to deliver infrastructure and social services.
He stated, “Let me also say this, we must abide by the tenets of peace. That is the only way we can bring about the desired development. We are all yearning for the people of the State.
“So, I want to urge every one of you, please, ensure that you maintain peace so that the promises we made during our campaign will be fulfilled.”
Fubara said he would never take the support of the ‘Wakirike people’ for his administration for granted because they make him feel that he is not alone in the journey of providing quality governance to the Rivers people.
He also assured the people of Koniju Town that the process to officially Gazette the first class recognition given by government to the Oputibeya Traditional Stool, which has delayed, will be concluded.
In his speech, the Head of Owolo War Canoe House, and former attorney general of Rivers State, Chief Adokiye Amiesimaka thanked governor Fubara for being physically present to participate in the burial activities as their king joins his ancestors.
