Rivers Women Unite for SIM, RWUS, has renewed its call for peace and stability in the State.
In a statement by the Media Officer of the group, Comrade Glory Sunday after its weekly program, RWUS called on President Bola Tinubu to facilitate the immediate reinstatement of Gov Fubara and complete restoration of democratic institutions in the state.
While expressing concern over the state of affairs in the state since the suspension of democratic rule, the women lamented the adverse effects the state of emergency has on development, inclusion, and participatory governance.
They appealed to President Tinubu, whom they acknowledge as a father figure to all Nigerians, including women to lift the state of emergency and reinstate the duly elected Governor.
”Democracy gives voice and visibility to women and youths,” the statement read. “Under the current emergency rule, many of the inclusive and people-driven programmes that empowered our communities have been put on hold.
”Rivers State needs to return to constitutional order so that growth and grassroots development can resume in earnest.”
The statement added that the group also commended the Federal Government and peace-loving Nigerians who have contributed in maintaining calm in the state, urging all actors to expedite actions toward the full restoration of democratic governance.
The group also expressed condolences to President Bola Tinubu and the family of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari over the passing of the former leader at the age of 82.
They sympathized with former First Lady Aisha Buhari, the children, and family members, praying for God’s comfort and the peaceful repose of his soul.
