President Bola Tinubu has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, political leaders and their supporters in Rivers to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law.

In response to recent tensions following last Saturday’s local government council election, the President expressed deep concern over reports of arson and explosions in the state.

He urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President, Information and Strategy, said in a statement.

Tinubu said government facilities built with public funds must be safeguarded from vandalism.

He stressed that self-help has no place in a democratic system, especially after 25 years of continuous democracy.

According to Tinubu, the judiciary can settle all political disputes, and the outcome of the election should be no exception.
