Governor Fubara’s condolence message to his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, over the loss of his mother is a significant gesture given the intense political tension currently defining Rivers State. While some see this as a sign of maturity and a bridge for peace, others may view it as just performative politics. Do you think such personal gestures can actually help de-escalate the deep-rooted political divide in the state, or is it too little, too late?
