Fubara Affirms Stability In Rivers State Despite Political Pressures

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has affirmed that the state is not in crisis but instead emphasized his administration’s dedication to providing good governance to the people.

He made this declaration during a meeting with members of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

Fubara reiterated his commitment to service despite political pressures, emphasizing that the challenges would only bolster his administration’s resolve to deliver on its promises to the people of Rivers State.

According to Fubara: “As far as we are concerned, there are no political issues. I had seen a movie many years ago, entitled, ‘Devil’s Advocate’. I believe some of you must have seen that movie too.

“One of the starring characters, Al Pacino, said that pressure makes some people retreat or fail, and to others, it makes them become focused on succeeding. We have chosen to be focused under this pressure.

“Governance is about touching the core needs of those people we are leading, and by the special grace of God, we are doing it.”

Shortly after assuming office as governor, Fubara experienced a fallout with his predecessor, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Speculations abound that their disagreement is rooted in the political and financial control of the state.

Despite efforts to reconcile, including a peace pact facilitated by President Bola Tinubu, the rift between the two persists, leading to ongoing crisis in the state.
