Rivers State Governor Similanayi Fubara has reassured citizens that there is no need for concern following the Appeal Court’s decision to overturn the High Court judgment that had dismissed 27 pro-Wike lawmakers.

Speaking to journalists after inspecting projects in Khana, Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State on Friday, July 5, Governor Fubara expressed his confidence and calmness regarding the ruling. He stated, “God has prepared a table of blessings for me in the presence of my enemies, so I am not worried about the ruling.”

Governor Fubara reaffirmed his administration’s stability and focus on development projects in the state.

He said; 

“I know that a lot of you will be wondering what is going on and all that. Government has its own challenges. If you go to the book of Psalm 23 verse 5, in the Bible, it said that God prepares a table before you; it can be before anybody. But there is an underlined word that should be noted there: it said ‘in the presence of your enemies’. So, it means that nothing comes easy.

“I want to assure everyone of you and the good people of Rivers State, that we are not deterred. We have made our promises, we will continue to give you good governance, no matter how difficult it is.

“But, like I said before, the worse is over. We are moving on to ensure that we continue to provide what is needed for the development of our state.”
