Rivers Enemies Have Been Defeated – Fubara

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has expressed his gratitude for the assurances of support from the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), affirming that the state’s enemies have been defeated and there is no need to disrupt the peace.

 He thanked the people for their commitment to stand by him, assuring them that their support ensures stability and tranquility in the state.

The governor said, “Because he stood for that unique thing, even after his death, we still celebrate him because he was a liberator. Every Rivers man, it doesn’t matter whether you are Ijaw or upland, the most important thing is that every genuine Rivers man must be a liberator.

“And I’m happy that you have come here today. I have also received you because we have one common purpose to liberate our dear State. We are not going back on that.

“I am happy that you’ve told me this morning that when I call on you, you will respond. But there is nothing to call on you for because we have already defeated them.

“By the special grace of God, what they thought that they would have done to us while we were celebrating our one year in office, they are the ones sleeping with their two eyes open. It shows that we have the Ijaw blood. And what is that blood: it is the blood of action; less talk, more action.”

Governor Fubara appealed to Ijaw youths to conduct themselves peacefully as they celebrate the Major Isaac Adaka Boro Day, and also be good ambassadors of the entire Ijaw Nation.

The IYC President, Mr Jonathan Lokpobiri, described the day as historic because Ijaw people were meeting with their governor on Major Isaac Adaka Boro Memorial Day.

Lokpobiri said this affirms that the gods of Ijaw people are at work, and warned all detractors to retrace their steps, and allow the Governor, who has the full mandate of the people, to discharge his duties to the Rivers people.

He commended Governor Fubara for his courage, bravery and commitment to good governance, insisting that his struggle and triumph resonates with the hope of all Ijaw people.

On his part, Chairman of IYC, Eastern Zone, Mr Tamuno Kpokpo, clarified that their visit was not to signify an ethnic war, but to lend support in protection of the interest and continuous development of Rivers State.
