Fubara to opposition: Work with my govt to build Rivers of our dreams

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has called on the opposition political parties in the state to join hands with his government to develop the state.

Fubara urged aggrieved politicians in Rivers State to put aside their differences and work with his government to build “one indivisible and greater Rivers State that posterity will remember us for”.

The governor made the call in a state-wide Broadcast on Friday, January 26, 2024, following the affirmation of his electoral victory by the Supreme Court on Thursday.

Governor Fubara, who dedicated his victory to God and to the good people of Rivers State, said the residents should expect accelerated growth and development of the state with the legal battles challenging his election now over.

He described the Supreme Court ruling as an immeasurable energiser to accelerate governance with utmost sense of commitment for the benefit of the people of Rivers State irrespective of political persuasion or ethnic affiliation.

Fubara said: “In this regard, what is important to us is the accelerated growth and development of our dear state.

“Now that the litigations are over, we call on the opposition political parties in the state to join hands with our government to build the Rivers State of our dreams.

“I extend the olive branch to my contenders and all others who went through the hog and or who withdrew their cases for the love of the state.

“I believe we are all Rivers people and by virtue of that brotherhood, let us therefore, put aside our differences and bond together to build one indivisible and greater Rivers State that posterity will remember us for.”

Governor Fubara assured that despite the challenges, his administration will continue to explore the path of peace as a sure foundation upon which to pull the people out of poverty.

As the governor of the state, Fubara vowed to achieve a greater Rivers State continuing on the path taken in the last seven months of his administration.

He thanked President Bola Tinubu for playing the role of a father in Rivers State just as he expressed his gratitude to the leaders and the people of the state.
