Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has vowed not to cede his powers as Governor of Rivers State to his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
The governor made the bold declaration at the crossover church service at St. Paul’s Archdeaconry Parish in Opobo Town on 2024 New Year’s Eve in Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area.
Fubara stated that he is not pretentious about his commitment to providing quality leadership, even though those fighting his administration want to dampen the spirit of Rivers people and forcefully truncate the pace of development.
He, therefore, encouraged Rivers people not to be frightened, saying:
“I want to urge everyone of us here, don’t be frightened. What they want is this red biro; it is still with me. They have failed. You are the winner; we are the winner because we are still signing with the red biro. And, so long as we are signing with the red biro, development will continue in Rivers State.”
Governor Fubara added that 2024 will witness unprecedented heights in Rivers state, asking the people to keep praying for his administration.
The governor, who said that there is already a designed development agenda and level of progress determined for Rivers State in 2024, stressed that he will not relent in working for the good of the state.
He further expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his fatherly role when he intervened to assist in restoring peace in Rivers State.
Governor Fubara also thanked Rivers people for their unwavering support while urging them to trust his decisions.
“I wasn’t the governor when I stood for you; I will continue standing with you,” he added.
