Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara declared he’s not intimidated by the ongoing political crisis, stating the worst outcome would be leaving office, and assured the people of Rivers State that he remains committed to leading the state with integrity and honor.
Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has expressed his unwavering resolve in the face of the current political crisis in the state. Despite the challenges, Governor Fubara assured the people of Rivers State that he remains committed to leading the state with integrity and honor.
The governor’s declaration came amidst the State House of Assembly’s ultimatum, led by Martin Amaewhule, which gave him 48 hours to present the 2025 budget to the lawmakers ¹. This development follows the recent Supreme Court judgment, which has escalated the political turmoil in the state.
Governor Fubara emphasized that his administration has consistently faced obstacles whenever it attempts to achieve stability. However, he commended the people of Rivers State for their unwavering support amid the crisis.
In his address, Governor Fubara stated, “No matter how we have been fooled in this state, it has got to the point where the people of the state have decided to take their destinies in their hands” ¹. He further assured the people that he would lead them when the time comes for decisive action.
“I’m not scared of anything; the worst that can happen is for me to leave office. Am I leaving the earth? Will it stop me from existing? I’m not bothered about that,” Governor Fubara declared.
