Protest: Fubara restates need to support FG 

The Rivers state governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has restated his administration’s commitment to make positive footprints in the state before leaving office.

He also re acknowledged the hardship faced by the people, suing for patience and peaceful disposition as well as the need to work together with President Bola Tinubu and the state government to build Nigeria and Rivers state that they all desire.

Governor Fubara made the assertion weekend during the funeral reception of late Sister Inyangette Shulammite Yobana, mother of caretaker committee chairman of Khana local government area, Ambassador Marvin Yobana, at her home town, Kono in Khana council area of the state.

The governor reassured of his administration’s position not to toy with the education of Rivers children and healthcare of the people,  adding that government would invest massively in agriculture with a view to boosting food production.

He said, “We are in trying times. So, we need to work together to make sure that we build that Nigeria, that Rivers State of our dream.

“Please, everybody should learn to be patient and peaceful. It gets hard before it gets better. We are at the point of that breakthrough to a wonderful state, and the envy of the country. When I say the envy of the country, if we pass through this state, Nigeria will be great. We just have to support Mr. President to make sure that this phase passes.

“I have said it before, and I am saying it again: I will not leave without making a positive impact in the life of our state. No matter the distraction, our eyes are on the ball,” he stated.
