Siminalayi Fubara: Who is the loser? Can you see why you should celebrate how good God is?

According to reports, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara reflected on surviving an impeachment attempt a year ago, revealing that he was aware of being monitored during his efforts to reconcile with opposing lawmakers. Speaking at a thanksgiving service held at the Alfred Diette-Spiff Civic Centre in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, the governor shared details about the challenges he faced.

Fubara recounted the events of October 30, 2023, when 27 lawmakers aligned with Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike attempted to oust him. While commending President Bola Tinubu for initiating peace talks, he noted that some factions did not genuinely support the resolution process.

“We went to Abuja, and Mr. President set some conditions for peace because he knew how important peace was for Rivers State,” Fubara stated. “We came back here in this state to take care of everything that has to do with safety and peace.” He mentioned promptly withdrawing court cases as part of the agreement and criticized those who failed to adhere to the peace terms.

The governor expressed gratitude to the people of Rivers State and his supporters, acknowledging their role in helping him navigate the difficult period. “This is where I am because of all of you,” he said. Reflecting on the government’s achievements despite resistance, Fubara highlighted successful appointments, ongoing infrastructure projects, and external recognition for transparency and accountability in governance.

“Who is the loser?” he asked, affirming his commitment to justice, peace, and good governance. Fubara concluded by thanking those who stood by him and pledged to continue serving the people of Rivers State faithfully.
