The embattled Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has confessed to the difficulty he has endured in the last one year as governor.
This he said is following the political crises that have rained on the oil rich State shortly after he took office as Governor in 2023.
Recall that Fubara was sworn into office on May 29, 2023. He succeeded the former Governor, Nyesom Wike.
But what is supposed to be joy has since remained a constant discomfort.
Fubara troubles stated in October 30, 2023, when a political crisis brewed in the State. The beginning of the evil days to come was a fire incident in the State House of Assembly.
The Governor disclosed this on Sunday during the event of a Church Thanksgiving Service to conclude the activities to mark his first anniversary.
According to him, “Some two months ago, nobody would have believed that we will be seated here. To say, ‘God, thank You that we are able to navigate this troubled water to this point’.”
The Governor emphasized that the plans were orchestrated to frustrate his administration. And that happened up to the moment that the first anniversary was being planned.
He said, “You won’t understand. I can tell you in good authority that even before we started this programme, there was every plan to frustrate us. But to the glory of God, we are all gathered here to say, ‘God, thank You, that You have carried us and led us to this point’.
“Now, if we have God by our side, do we have any problem? I want to thank everyone of you that are here to support us.”
Fubara used to occasion to promise not to betray the trust the people have bestowed in him. He, therefore, assured them that the governance of the State under his watch will get better by the year.
“What the devil thought it was evil, God turned it to blessing and good.
“I will not give this day to anybody, I will not talk about anybody. I will only say, ‘God Almighty thank You’,” the Governor stressed.
