Fubara Calls for Calm, Assures Supporters of Stronger Leadership

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has called on his supporters to remain calm amid recent political rhetoric, assuring them that the appropriate time for active politicking will come.

The governor made this appeal during the 7th anniversary celebration of the kingship installation of Eze Cassidy Ikegbidi, a former politician turned traditional ruler of the Akoh people in Ahoada East Local Government Area.

Speaking at the event, Fubara urged his supporters to disregard the noise from certain quarters, emphasizing that when the time is right, the political landscape will be clearer.

“Let’s ignore the noise some people are making. When the time is right, we will know who is who.

“So don’t worry about anything. It is God that has led us from that day till today, and each day we get stronger and stronger. It is only God.

“We are not achieving all this because of our strength or because we are boasting. It is because our strength is built in God.

So, we don’t need to worry about what people are saying. Let the time come, and we will see how it will end,” the governor said.

Fubara attributed his administration’s resilience and progress to divine intervention, noting that detractors had underestimated his capacity to lead and overcome political challenges.

The governor also emphasized the importance of peace and unity among the Akoh people, stressing that development can only thrive in a harmonious environment.

“The most important thing is that we must ensure we live peacefully.

Development cannot come to your kingdom, and development cannot come to the Ekpeye Ethnic Nationality without peace. There will be many attempts to bring disunity among you. Try as much as you can to avoid it.

“You know the mechanism of those people: ‘Divide and Rule.’ Try to avoid anything that will bring problems to this kingdom so that we can continue to show that we love you by ensuring we bring meaningful projects that will bring development to the Ekpeye people,” he added.

Fubara also commended Eze Cassidy Ikegbidi for his unwavering support and contributions to the administration’s success, pledging continued development projects for the Ekpeye people.
