Rivers Crisis: Gov Fubara Breaks Silence After Pro-Wike Lawmakers Won In Court

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State confidently declared on Friday that his administration remains undeterred in fulfilling good governance, despite challenges.

Fubara’s remarks came in response to the Appeal Court’s ruling that reinstated the 27 pro-Nyesom Wike lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Addressing journalists in Khana, Khana Local Government Area, Governor Fubara expressed his conviction in divine guidance, saying, “I know that a lot of you will be wondering what is going on and all that. Government has its own challenges. If you go to the Book of Psalms, 23 verse 5, in the Bible, it says that God prepares a table before you; it can be before anybody.”

He continued, emphasizing the biblical passage, “But there is an underlined word that should be noted there: it says ‘in the presence of your enemies.’ So, it means that nothing comes easy.”

Governor Fubara reassured the people of Rivers State, “I want to assure every one of you and the good people of Rivers State, that we are not deterred. We have made our promises, and we will continue to give you good governance, no matter how difficult it is.”

Concluding optimistically, he said, “But, like I said before, the worst is over. We are moving on to ensure that we continue to provide what is needed for the development of our state.”
