- As deputy urges prayers the govt
Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has finally reacted a few days after the House of Assembly served him and his Deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, notices of allegations of gross misconduct.
Fubara spoke on Sunday, during the Inter-Denominational Church Service in Commemoration of 2026 Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day at St Cyprain’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt.
Fubara said he is not disturbed and would not complain about the fresh political rift because “I have the Supreme Being – God – with me”.
The governor made reference to his New Year remarks when he said: “Dogs bark when they don’t understand,” insisting that many people in the State lacked comprehension.
He governor urged resident of the State to relax, assuring them that peace would be restored by the grace of God.
Governor Fubara said: “At the New Year banquet, I said something that dogs bark when they don’t understand. A lot of you don’t understand the reason why I don’t shout and I don’t complain is that I know what I have. I know that I have what is, and that is God.
“So, I want everyone to be relaxed. What is important is peace for this our dear State, and we will get it by the grace of God.”
Addressing the congregation following the invitation of his boss, the Deputy Governor, Prof. Ngozi Odu, said, “Rt. Rev. Blessing Enyindah, in his message, encapsulated everything when he said, “We are remembered by what we have done.”
She said: “It is a thing that we should go back and reflect in our heart, and should guide our attitudes, how we relate to people, bearing in mind that there will be a day of reckoning. A day when people will reflect on what you have done, whether it be good or bad. But let us, by God’s grace, be remembered for good.
“Let’s leave this Cathedral and let it resonate in our hearts that we should think of the good we should be remembered for; it doesn’t matter what else, but let’s be remembered for good. What we do is that we look at life more positively and do things more positively and more impactful.”
She appealed to everyone to pray for legionnaires, the wives and husbands of the fallen heroes, as well as the government of Governor Fubara.
She said: “Please, continue to uphold the government of Sir Siminalayi Fubara and myself in prayers. Prayers have sustained us so far, and we believe that prayers will continue to sustain us.”
