Rivers State Administrator Urges Peace Over Politics - Vice Admiral Ibas Stresses Unity for Progress

Vice Admiral Ibas, the Rivers State administrator, emphasized the need for peace over political victories during a thanksgiving service in Port Harcourt. He urged political actors to prioritize peace and progress over personal ambitions, highlighting that no political gain is worth the blood of the people.

Ibas acknowledged the recent efforts to restore calm in Rivers State after a period of crisis that disrupted governance. The state had faced turmoil since December 2023 when Governor Siminalayi Fubara's actions triggered a prolonged battle among lawmakers.

Ibas called for unity and reconciliation, urging the youth to reject violence and the elders to guide the state towards harmony.
