Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group (NDMG) has nominated Governor Siminalayi Fubar, for the Nobel Peace Prize for saving democracy and eschewing illegality in Rivers.
The group, in a statement on Wednesday, said the governor was brave, decisive, and swift to direct Heads of Local Government Administration to assume responsibility at the 23 council areas.
Recall that Governor Fubara ordered elected local government chairmen, vice-chairmen, and councillors to step aside on Monday after the expiration of their three-year tenure.
In the statement signed by Dr Markson Martins, the Diaspora group hailed the governor for skillfully avoiding potential criminality and a breakdown of law and order with a view towards a peaceful transition.
The group noted that Fubara embodies the spirit of the Nobel Peace Prize, adding that his unwavering commitment to democracy, stability, and the well-being of his people makes him an inspiration to Nigerians and a shining example for African leaders.
The group, therefore, urged other Nigerian leaders to emulate Governor Fubara’s exemplary leadership, prioritising the rule of law, democracy, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
