Rainbow Coalition: Reconciliation committee meets Fubara, assures peace

The Reconciliation Committee of Rainbow Coalition in Rivers state Monday assured that none of its members, no matter their past political disagreements would be victimised or discriminated against in the current   move to achieve peace and full restoration of the political family.

The members of the committee stated this after meeting with the governor of Rivers state, Sir Siminalayi Fubara at Government House, Port Harcourt, the second time in about two weeks.

The group said under the new dispensation everybody will be treated equally, respectfully and as members of the original political family.

Chairman of the committee, Senator Magnus Abe said the meeting was meant for the hitherto estranged political leaders to deliberate further on the modalities for the ongoing peace and reconciliation moves.

The committee was set up by the leader of the group, Chief Nyesom Wike,  the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and a former governor of the state.

Briefing journalists at the end of the meeting, Abe said the committee has been holding several meetings to work out modalities on how all its members will work together.

He said the explanation became necessary because the committee wants the people of Rivers state to be aware of the new direction the state is moving.

“I’m sure that Rivers people will be very curious to understand exactly what we have been talking about.  So, I know that this will be very good news for all Rivers people who are interested in the unity, progress and prosperity of Rivers state. We are all in agreement and we have made very good progress,” Abe said.
