“The Arewa Community will forever remember and pray for Gov Fubara for his peaceful disposition which will for a very long time serve as a lesson to other political leaders across the country on how humble and focused the leader of the people should behave. Gov Fubara has by this singular act written his name on marble as a true patriotic leader and statesman”, Alh. Walu declared.

The Arewa Secretary General also applauded Gov. Fubara for reactivating his rural development efforts which were stalled by the emergency rule, citing the Ogoni, Emohua, Igbo Etche and other road projects around the 23 local government areas of the state which have now kicked off and are at various stages of completion. While reassuring the Rivers State government under the watch of Gov Siminalayi Fubara of the unwavering support and prayers of all Northern indigenes in the state under their unifying umbrella – Arewa Community, Alh. Sadiq Walu passionately appealed to all Rivers people, political gladiators and all citizens from across Nigeria living and doing business in the state to support Gov Fubara for the full actualization of his developmental plans for the state which is only possible in an atmosphere of peace devoid of bitterness and rancor.
