Fubara: I’m not scared of leaving office

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has vowed that governance will prevail despite the opposition in the state.

Fubara stressed that he is not afraid to leave office as the governor of Rivers State.

Fubara said this while inaugurating the Government House Staff Quarters built by his administration in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, on Monday, March 3, 2025.

The governor stated that the course of governance is irreversible despite the antagonism against his administration.

He noted the news of the judgement of the Supreme Court dampened the spirit of many people in Rivers States but urged them to brace up as “what is ahead is more than what has happened”.

Fubara said: “Our back is not on anybody; it is on God. I want to thank you for your support.

“And I assure you that, if there is one person on this planet earth that will continue to stand by you, I will be that person.”

The governor, however, said he had never subscribed to violence or ask people to indulge in lawless acts, and warned that his administration would not ignore anyone planning to unleash violence in Rivers State.

Fubara added: “I am not scared of anything, the worse that will happen is for me to leave the office.

“Am I leaving the earth? Is it going to stop me from existing?”

Fubara stated that the interest of the state remained his top priority, emphasising that he would not hesitate to pay the supreme price, if it was required.

He also urged the people of Rivers State to know that “there is honour and glory in fighting gallantly, being on the side of truth.”

Fubara assured the elders of the state that he would not disappoint their expectations of providing good governance to the state.

In his remarks, the Chief of Staff, Government House, Edison Ehie, commended the governor for the construction of the project and for “tastefully” furnishing it to make life comfortable for workers.
