Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara on Monday has vowed to emerge stronger amidst the current political crisis rocking the state posing threat to his administration.
Fubara spoke at the inauguration of the Palace of Nyeweali Akpor Kingdom and a magnificent residential quarters for the King, Eze Levi Amos Oriebe, built and furnished by his administration in Ozuoba, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
Recall that the opposition party, APC had earlier call on Fubara to resign within 48 hours or face impeachment.
He criticised those attempting to disrupt governance by intensifying political tensions, insisting that his priority remains maintaining peace and warning against any form of lawlessness.
“I want to say to our teeming supporters, I know that while some of you are in high spirits, others feel discouraged. But I assure you of one thing: God does not start something and abandon it midway.
“No matter the situation today, I promise you that we will emerge stronger and better. Follow my path, and that path remains one of peace. We need peace because, if anything happens, we will be the greatest losers.
“Our concern for this state is not for personal gain but for the total well-being of Rivers State. So, I appeal to everyone: be law-abiding. I will not encourage disobedience or violence, but that does not mean we will support evil. We will never support evil,” Fubara declared.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to good governance and its promise to deliver impactful, people-oriented development projects.
“Our projects and services will continue to touch the hearts, souls, and spirits of our people. No matter the challenges we face, we will not renege on the promises we made to the good people of Rivers State,” he said.
Fubara also invited the state House of Assembly members to a meeting to discuss, among other things, the payment of all their outstanding remuneration and allowances.
