While opponents undermine my government, I deliver projects – Fubara

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara said that despite his political rivals’ belief that they have undermined his government, he has continued to deliver projects.

Speaking during the opening of a 14.1-kilometer road project in the state’s Omuma LGA on Saturday, Fubara did not identify his political rivals.

Issues pertaining to Rivers state have caused friction between the governor and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

The state assembly, which has continued to function as factions, has been severely split by their division.

According to Fubara, the initiative will result in the area’s development.

Nelson Chukwudi, the chief press secretary to the governor, quoted him saying: “We are here, I don’t want to sing praises about this administration because governance is about serving the people, providing services, and protecting lives.

“If we don’t tell our stories, nobody is going to tell it for us.

“So, we have decided to tell the world, showcase to the world what we have done.

“When they thought we were being emasculated, we were behind working, and this is one of those things we have done quietly to showcase that the interest of our people is paramount in our administration.

“This project we are about to inaugurate today is a 14.1 kilometer project.

“It is a project that starts from Eberi, in fact for me, it is an inter-state project because it takes you from Rivers state to Abia state, and you can imagine the significance of this project.

“It is not about me.

“I am not the one doing it with my resources.

“It is just that I am the one managing and directing the affairs of the state”.

The governor of Bauchi, Bala Mohammed, stated after the project’s launch that Fubara is bringing about good governance in his state, which gives Nigeria hope.

“Governor Siminalayi Fubara is not only a simple, sincere, very polite and quiet person, but a performer per excellence”, he stated.

“Mr Governor, I am sorry that I underestimated you.

“When you told me that there is no need to join issues, there is no need to be worried, and that you were never provoked, I have seen that today, because in the midst of all the distractions.

“I have seen work being done”.

The project has given the Omuma people optimism and a sense of belonging, according to Promise Reginald, chair of the Omuma Local Government Area (LGA) of Rivers State.
