Siminalayi Fubara and Governor Wike
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers has declared himself as the winner in the battle between him and his estranged godfather and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Fubara also mocked his opponents for failing to remove him as Governor of Rivers State.
The governor, who spoke at the crossover church service at St Paul’s Archdeaconry Parish in Opobo on 2024 New Year’s Eve in Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area, said what his opponents wanted is the red biro to sign off the state’s wealth.
Fubara said: “What they want is this red biro but it is still with me. We are the winners because we are still signing with the red biro. As long as we are signing with the red biro, development will continue in Rivers State.”
The governor stated that nothing will stop his administration from getting to its destination because its foundation is laid solidly in God who alone will give the grace to complete the process of building.

Fubara expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for the fatherly role he played when he intervened to assist in the process of restoring peace in Rivers State.
“Like I keep saying, it takes a responsible man to be a father. He acted like a father. On our part, we will continue to give him all the necessary support because if he does not succeed in Rivers State, he will not succeed as a president.
“So, as a state, we will continue to give him every support. We are not pretenders. Our support is genuine and it is to uplift his programmes. Our sacrifices are part of the support.”
In his sermon, Bishop of the Diocese of Niger Delta, Right Rev. Emmanuel Oko-Jaja assured that God will restore Nigeria to her expected height of glory and stable economy.
Wike and his loyalists in the Rivers State House of Assembly had attempted impeachment against Fubara until President Tinubu waded in.
While Fubara retains his seat, Wike’s loyalists who have moved to the APC from PDP are in control of the legislature.
