Siminalayi Fubara Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for sustaining his seat as the number-one citizen of Rivers State.
Fubara, who was speaking at a Thanksgiving Church Service organized today to celebrate his victory at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, stated that there are still more threats frightening his administration as Rivers State Governor. He, therefore, begged Pastors at the church to always include him in Prayer.
Governor Fubara expressed confusion on the absence, in the church, of some of the political stakeholders in the state who worked for his governorship election but have decided to stay away from him. However, he suggested that their absence from his cycle could be a will of God.
Speaking at the Church programme which was held at Saint Paul’s Anglican Church, Opobo Town, in the Opobo/Nkoro local government area of the state, Governor Fubara said, “We came in; we were selected because they believed we have something that we will do for our State. We have not been allowed to do those things that we ought to do for our State.
“We have had a lot of distractions, but I strongly believe that while we navigate the path of peace, prayer is also needed for us to pass over this phase. Continue to put us in your prayers. There is nothing that God cannot do.”
“A lot of people who started this journey with us ought to have been here with us but unfortunately they are not here. God knows why. We can’t question the Almighty.
“But one thing we can’t take away is that God does not make any mistake. Whatever happens, and when it happens, it is for a purpose.
“I am happy to return this glory to God Almighty, to say thank you to God, and ask for extra energy to continue with the task of governance. But no battle can be bigger than God.”
“I want to thank God first, then our dear President, he has been a great and wonderful father. He has supported and I can say it without being economical with the truth that we are standing here because of his support.
“I want to thank our leaders who are here and the ones that are not here, for all your support. Before this journey started, while the journey was on, and also now, we have gotten victory to validate your mandate.
“I want to thank especially the good people of Rivers State who were firm in the face of provocation to stand by the truth.”
The governor, whose 49th birthday anniversary coincided with the Thanksgiving event, said reminiscing on God’s goodness in his life makes him happier.
He said: “It is just a coincidence that today is actually my birthday, I didn’t plan it but the organisers of the programme have to fix in the birthday. I am also thanking God for this wonderful day. Maybe I will take the birthday happiness to make myself more happier.”
