Dokubo made the call after attending a stakeholders’ meeting organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission in the state capital. She appealed to politicians and leaders across Rivers State to put peace and the welfare of residents ahead of personal or political interests.
She described the impeachment notice served on the governor as a setback that could slow down governance and development at a time when the state is trying to recover from months of tension. According to her, Rivers State recently came out of about six months of emergency rule, a period she said was marked by instability, economic strain, and limited progress.
The Labour Party chairman said the renewed political tension could drag the state back into unrest just when signs of normal governance were beginning to return. She stressed that constant political fights distract leaders from their duty to improve the lives of the people.
Dokubo urged lawmakers and other political stakeholders to stop actions that could heat up the polity and instead focus on policies and decisions that bring relief and growth to residents. She noted that peace in the state affects daily life, security, and the future of families living there.
She also praised four members of the Rivers State House of Assembly who stepped back from supporting the impeachment process, encouraging other lawmakers to take a similar path in the interest of unity and stability.
Dokubo further warned against quick political fixes that may solve immediate disputes but create deeper challenges later. She called for dialogue and understanding, adding that the governor should be allowed to carry out his duties now that governance is gradually taking shape in the state.
