Johnson, who spoke on Channels TV, on Wednesday, December 20, said the governor will implement the agreement reached because he is committed to the process of peace.

Vanguard newspaper also noted Johnson's remarks. His words: “There is nothing to doubt it. We have gone beyond the issue as to who signed, and who didn’t sign.

“The Bible that we all profess says we should pursue peace will all men at all cost. Mr Governor is a stickler for the rules.

“And if His Excellency, the President has intervened, he (Fubara) is not a man of perfidy. He will not say something and do the other.

“In the next couple of hours, I will be unveiling some of the approvals His Excellency has already given as an indication that he is prepared for peace.”
