Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has assured his supporters that victory is inevitable, despite the political turmoil in the state.
Speaking on Monday, March 3, at the commissioning of the Government House Staff Quarters in Port Harcourt, Fubara sought to reassure former council chairmen present at the event, telling them there was no reason for concern.
He began his address by quoting Philippians 3:18-19 from the Bible, underscoring faith and resilience.
“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”
Declaring that “despite everything, victory is sure,” Fubara insisted the fight was not just about winning but about standing for truth.
He said the days of deception in Rivers State were over, adding that the people must now take charge of their destiny.
While reaffirming his commitment to peace, he maintained that “when the time comes, the necessary decisions will be made in the best interest of the state.”

He dismissed fears over the political crisis, stating, “I am not afraid of anything. The worst that can happen is for me to leave office.”
Addressing the youth, he assured them that at the right time, they would receive the needed direction.
Reacting to the Supreme Court ruling that nullified the local government elections and ordered the Martin Amaewhule-led Assembly faction to resume sitting, Fubara said the future held more promise than the past.
He pledged to complete his tenure with honour and integrity, ensuring his actions remained justifiable.
He also called for political propaganda to be countered with evidence of good governance, pointing to ongoing state projects as proof of his administration’s commitment to development.
Fubara said the newly commissioned staff quarters would improve efficiency among public servants in the Government House.
