Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has reassured residents that the ongoing political crisis in the state will ultimately strengthen the people rather than weaken them.
Fubara made this statement during a visit from Muslim leaders from 20 Islamic-based groups, where he urged them and his supporters to trust in God’s process.
The governor acknowledged the current political tension might leave many feeling depressed but emphasized that supernatural forces may be at play beyond human understanding.
He reaffirmed his commitment to justice and equality, stressing that his administration envisions a society where no one is oppressed.
Fubara also cautioned against falling prey to those who want to engineer violence by fanning provocative acts, warning his supporters and Rivers people to avoid certain elements who sought to destabilize the state.
The visit from Muslim leaders was an opportunity for Fubara to strengthen ties with the community, with Alhaji Nasir Awhelebe Uhor declaring their solidarity with the governor and assuring him of their prayers and support.
It’s worth noting that Fubara’s statement comes amidst a suspension from office by President Bola Tinubu, who declared a state of emergency in Rivers State due to intense political instability and crisis.
