“The last six months have been enormously challenging, but they have taught us valuable lessons about unity, patience, and the importance of dialogue. Nothing has been irretrievably lost; there remains ample opportunity for necessary adjustments, continued reconciliation, and inclusiveness,” Fubara said.
The governor also urged political leaders, stakeholders, and citizens to embrace the moment as a fresh beginning, warning against renewed division.
