Fubara In New Speech Leaves Rivers In Suspense Over LG Chairman Who Called Him Foolish Governor

Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has told Rivers people to expect accelerated growth and development of the State with the legal battles challenging his elections now over but left political watchers in suspense over the fate of the local government chairman who publicly called him foolish.

GWG.ng reports that Fubara spoke in a State-wide Broadcast on Friday, following the affirmation of his electoral victory by the Supreme Court of Nigeria on Thursday, as he dedicated his victory to God and to the good people of Rivers State.

Governor Fubara reflected that the litigation experience was a tortuous journey that had now validated the choice and eventually confirmed the mandate freely given to him by the electorate.

“It is with a great joy and total deference to the Almighty God that I address you after a tortuous legal journey following the governorship election in our State.

“It is with great nostalgia I reflect on your trust and the absolute confidence you bestowed on us on that fateful March 18, 2023 when you gave us your mandate. Even with that overwhelming support, we had to go through litigation to validate your choice and confirmation of your mandate to us.

 “We are deeply elated by the verdict of the Supreme Court of our dear nation, which has finally affirmed our victory. I owe this victory, not to my efforts or our ingenuity but to God and to you the good people of Rivers State.”

“Now that the litigations are over, we call on the opposition political parties in the State to join hands with our government to build the Rivers State of our dreams.

“I extend the olive branch to my contenders and all others who went through the hog and or who withdrew their cases for the love of the State.

“I believe we are all Rivers people and by virtue of that brotherhood, let us therefore, put aside our differences and bond together to build one indivisible and greater Rivers State that posterity will remember us for.”

GWG.ng reports that Governor Fubara was, however, silent on the chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area, Dr Sam Nwanosike who in a recent viral speech called him out as a foolish governor.

Meanwhile, Dr Nwanosike has not made any further public comments especially on twitter though the speech where he called Fubara foolish remains on his twitter handle as at Friday morning.
