Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has reacted to the Supreme Court Judgment delivered early today to revalidate the authenticity 8f his victory in the 2023 Governorship election held in Rivers State.
Reacting to the Judgment, Governor Fubara specifically appreciated the President of the country, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his predecessor who is the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike for the roles they played in the victory recorded by him in the legal tussle.
Governor Fubara, however, promised to do everything possible to develop Rivers State to the taste of Lagos or later anything closer, considering that the main challenge (elephant) facing his administration has been resolved as he won the legal battle challenging his electoral victory.
Governor Fubara said: “About an hour ago, the Supreme Court revalidated our mandate in the election. It is a victory for the entire State.
“It is important for us to note that we need this victory to consolidate the purpose of governance. Prior, we have had a few distractions here and there.”
“And the good news that came to us this morning is a refreshing strength that will encourage us to continue the good works in governance.
“We have a dream of making it a highly competitive State that will measure, if not up to Lagos but close to becoming like Lagos. We can only achieve this in an atmosphere of peace.
“So I am calling on everyone, not just on our internal issue but those members from other parties, the issue is settled, come and let’s build the Rivers State of our dream.
“We will continue to protect and provide the basic needs of governance to everyone who is doing business and who lives in Rivers State.
“We would address our State very soon on the victory, but for now, let everybody be happy that one elephant is out of the road, the other one, by God’s help, will be resolved amicably and the family will be one.
