My Government is standing because of President Tinubu’s support, Fubara tells loyalists
The Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has told his supporters that without President Bola Tinubu, they will not be standing for a thanksgiving to God over his victory at the Supreme Court.
Fubara spoke at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, in his Opobo Town in Opobo/ Nkoro local government area on Sunday, January 28, during a special thanksgiving to celebrate his victory.
Fubara was quoted to have said: “When I look at your faces, even when I feel heavy in my spirit, I’m encouraged to be happy.
“It has not been easy, I can say it. A lot of people who started this journey with us ought to have been here with us but unfortunately they are not here. God knows why. We can’t question the Almighty.
“But one thing we can’t take away (is that) God does not make any mistake. Whatever happens, when it happens, it is for a purpose.
“I’m happy to return this glory to God Almighty, to say thank you God, and give me extra energy to continue with the battle. But no battle can be bigger than God.
“I want to thank God first, our dear President, he’s been great and wonderful father. He has supported and I can say it without being economical with the truth that we are standing here is because of his support.
“I want to thank again, my family. They are suffering, that’s the truth because of this cause. You just have to be strong and understand that after a while you’ll get me back. But for now, these (Rivers) people are the ones that own me.
“I want to thank our leaders that are here and the ones that are not here for all your support, before this journey started, while the journey was on and also now, that we have gotten victory to validate your mandate.
“I want to thank specially, the good people of Rivers State who remained firm in the face of provocation to say we stand by the truth.
