The reconciliation which was brokered by Governor Wike took place at Government House, Port Harcourt, Monday.

"They are the people directly involved in the State House of Assembly crisis and this ceremony is to tell the world that they have reconciled."


"They are still members of the same family and they are happy with the reconciliation," the governor noted.


In his speech, Dr. Chidi Lloyd said the reconciliation was ordained by God and restated his earlier apology to Hon. Michael Chinda and his other colleagues over his role in the crisis at the State House of Assembly.

Responding, Hon. Michael Chindah thanked God for keeping them alive to witness the reconciliation.


He also lauded Governor Wike for his role in ensuring that he remained alive after the incident.


Hon. Chindah who observed that Dr. Lloyd misunderstood him on the day of the crisis, said he had already forgiven him since December, 2013.

Hon. Nworgu lauded Governor Wike for championing the reconciliation which he noted is for the good of the state.


The State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, described the reconciliation as a practical manifestation of forgiveness.


He lauded Governor Wike for always treading the path of a righteous ruler and thanked the various parties to the reconciliation for taking the bold step to forgive one another. 


Also speaking,  Chief Sergent Awuse commended Governor Wike for creating the enabling environment to end the crisis which would have consumed the entire state.
