Fubara: “I’m Not Scared of Leaving Office”
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has openly declared that he is not desperate to retain his position. In a bold statement addressing the ongoing political tensions in the state, the governor said, “The worst that can happen is for me to leave office. Am I leaving the earth? Will it stop me from existing? I’m not bothered about that.”
Fubara emphasized the importance of doing what is right, insisting that his role is secondary to the peace and stability of Rivers State.
“Take the Position If It Brings Peace,” Fubara Says
In another address, Governor Fubara went even further, suggesting he is ready to vacate his seat if that is what it would take to restore calm.
“If leaving this position is what is needed to bring more peace to the state, I can even tell you people to come and take it. It’s not about me,” he stated. “Definitely, I will go, but Rivers State will remain.”
Crisis with Rivers Assembly Continues
Governor Fubara’s remarks come amid an escalating political crisis involving conflicts with members of the Rivers State House of Assembly. Tensions have been high following disputes over legislative control and alleged interference from federal authorities.
Despite the situation, the governor has maintained a calm and measured stance, urging citizens to remain peaceful and law-abiding
PDP Affirms Fubara’s Mandate
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has thrown its weight behind Fubara, affirming that he remains the duly elected and legitimate governor of Rivers State. The party condemned any attempts to undermine his position, calling such moves unconstitutional.
This backing provides critical political support as Fubara navigates the complex landscape of Rivers State politics.
