Fubara vows to protect Rivers livelihoods amid political turmoil, cites divine purpose

Rivers APC chairman accuses Fubara of breaching peace deal

Amidst the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara has assured residents that the challenges will ultimately fortify them, not weaken them. He also pledged to thwart any attempts to disrupt the state’s peace and economy.

Fubara made these remarks during an Eid-el-Fitri Sallah visit at his private residence in Port Harcourt, where he received Muslim leaders from 20 Islamic-based groups, including the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs. The details of the visit were released in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, on Monday.

Addressing the delegation, Fubara urged them and his supporters to place their trust in divine providence. “This season is one of love, sharing, and sacrifice. You have come to share in our pain and have made a great sacrifice through your prayers,” he stated. “As Christians, we believe that everything happens for a purpose, and I strongly believe that this situation is leading us toward a greater purpose.”

Acknowledging the potential for despondency amidst the political tension, Fubara emphasized the possibility of supernatural forces at play. “No matter what we see, we must remain steadfast. In all things, we give glory to Almighty God. I believe that, in the end, we will emerge stronger,” he added.

Reaffirming his commitment to justice and equality, he stated, “We believe in egalitarianism, and if our beliefs bring us some pain, so be it. The most important thing is that we stand on the side of truth and righteousness.”

He expressed regret for his inability to personally reach out to the Muslim Ummah during their celebrations, promising to strengthen the relationship between religious groups and the government once the current uncertainties are resolved. Fubara also assured the leaders that their pending requests would be addressed after the crisis subsides.

Urging patience, he drew parallels from religious history, saying, “If God could be patient with Noah to allow even the snail to enter the Ark, then patience remains an essential virtue in our struggle.”

He also issued a stern warning against those attempting to incite violence, imploring his supporters and Rivers people to avoid provocations. “Their goal is to create problems and deny people their means of livelihood. We will not allow that. We will continue to operate peacefully and respect constituted authority to ensure that our state remains a model for others in Nigeria,” he noted.

Speaking on behalf of the Muslim Ummah, Nasir Uhor expressed solidarity with Fubara, assuring him of their prayers and support. He highlighted Fubara’s inclusive governance approach, contrasting it with previous administrations. “He noted that, unlike the previous administration that declared Rivers a 100% Christian state, Fubara, upon assuming office, acknowledged the state as a Christian-majority state while allowing room for inclusiveness.”

Uhor encouraged Fubara to remain steadfast, reminding him of the Islamic belief in divine reward for patience. “He said the present challenges align with the teachings of Islam, where the Creator tests His people through wealth, power, and authority.”

Uhor also called on President Bola Tinubu to review the emergency rule in the state and restore Fubara’s full authority, asserting, “Uhor further called on President Bola Tinubu to review the emergency rule in the state and restore Fubara’s full authority, emphasising that the governor has been performing effectively despite the crisis.”

The visit concluded with prayers for Fubara, his family, the state, and Nigeria.
