Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state, has stated that despite the current challenges confronting his administration, he would not be distracted from the oath he took to defend the people of the state.

Fubara made this assertion a few days after he signed a peace deal with the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) Nyesom Wike to queer the political crisis in Rivers state.

Recall that Tinubu settled the rift between Fubara and Wike, on Monday, December 18 as he presented a peace deal to the duo.

The governor made the declaration while speaking to newsmen at Ngo Town, the headquarters of Andoni local government area, shortly after inspecting the stretch of the Andoni section of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo Unity Road, on Wednesday, December 20.
