“I won’t govern Rivers like a dictator” – Fubara shades Wike
Rivers governor, Similanayi Fubara has said that he would not govern the state with highhandedness as the last administration.
Politics Nigeria reports that FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, was the last governor of Rivers state.
Fubara stated this at the Government House in Port Harcourt during the formal presentation of Certificate of Recognition and Staff of Office to the Amanyanabo of Okochiri Kingdom, King Ateke Michael Tom, on Tuesday.
Fubara said his administration will collaborate and continue to consult widely in delivering a liberated state experiencing enduring peace.

“We are at a crossroad in our state where we all need to stand for what is right. It happens once in a life time. So, for now, be one of those people that will be in the course to liberate and free our dear State,” Fubara said.
“And I know strongly that having the support of a peace-loving Amanyanabo of Okochiri Kingdom, having the support of the wonderful Council of Chiefs, having the support of the great people of Rivers State, we will bring peace to our State. We will do those things that are right to develop our State.
“We will continue to consult. We will not act as dictators. We will act as people who know that one day, we will leave, and when we leave, the way we have acted will speak for us. We will not force people to talk good about us. Our legacy will be a signature for how we led.”
Fubara explained that he acted within the ambit of the law to upgrade the traditional stool upon which King Ateke Tom sits in recognition of his efforts in promoting peace in Okrika and the state in general.
