A group under the aegis of Rivers Women Unite for SIM has applauded the emerging peace in the state, calling for “complete and speedy resolution of all disputes in the interest of the state”.
In a statement on Monday signed by their leaders, Glory Sunday and Belema Oningiye, the group called on Rivers State people to remain steadfast and jettison every form of negative tendencies and ill-feelings toward the reconciliation and resolution mediated by President Bola Tinubu.
“We are confident in the process and believe that it will bring lasting peace as one united family and one people with a shared vision of advancing our state.
“It is our hope that we all adopt the time-tested principle of no-victor-no-vanquished to enable us to move forward.
“Therefore, we must leave all that has transpired in the past to history and be more hopeful of the future by uniting as a people driven more by the interest of developing and moving our state forward,” the group advocated.
They pledged to continue to fervently pray and ardently support the peace process and the resolution of every impasse.
