Governor Fubara said his decision to implement the presidential peace pact as a sign of respect for Bola Tinubu, adding that “And for those who see it as a sign of defeat, the Governor promised to surprise them.”
He said the majority of the people in the state support hind him, adding that while the crisis persists, he would remain focused on
governance.
Organizers of the rally said they thank the Governor for his worker-friendly policies.
Governor Fubara, in his determination to maintain good relationship with organized labour by improving the welfare of workers, has also promised regular payment of benefits to the local government service retirees.
