He further pledged that the state would not tolerate any form of political violence going forward.
The governor also commended the commission for its resilience in completing the report, despite facing legal challenges and other obstacles.
The Chairman of the seven-member commission, Justice Ibiwengi Minakiri, provided details of the report’s compilation process, which included visits to affected local government areas such as Khana, Eleme, Ikwerre, Emohua, and Obio/Akpor.
