Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has expressed resolve to continue serving the state, citing the support of the people as his source of strength and motivation to forge ahead.
In addition, Fubara urged those still burdened by the state’s recent political turbulence to lay down their grievances and unite for the collective goal of rebuilding Rivers State.
Despite the ongoing political challenges, the governor said he remains determined to emerge stronger, more united, and more results-driven.
The embattled governor made these declarations in a personally signed statement marking what would have been the second anniversary of his tenure.
Fubara, who was sworn in on May 29, 2023, titled his statement: “Our Journey: Challenging but Progressive and Impactful.”
The statement, released on Thursday morning, was shared with journalists by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi.
“Today marks exactly two years since I took the oath of office as your 7th democratically-elected governor. On May 29, 2023, I was sworn in following the clear and overwhelming mandate you gave me during the March 18, 2023 elections.
“Once again, I thank you for the trust, honour, and privilege to lead our beloved state,” he stated.
Furthermore, Fubara, while reflecting on the political developments over the past two years, emphasised his commitment to the state.
“In the past two years, our political landscape has undergone significant changes. Despite the turbulence, I have remained focused, guided by the oath I took and my solemn promise to always put Rivers State first.
