According to him, “I warmly felicitate with all Christians, particularly in Rivers State, as they celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ; His death symbolizes the virtues of ultimate sacrifice, forgiveness, compassion, and patience for the sake of humanity. So I urge all Christians to emulate such qualities of Christ to promote peace and harmony in our beloved state”.
Sir Fubara also commended Christians for giving the PDP their massive support at the just concluded governorship, and national and State assembly elections which culminated in their victory.
He further solicited their support as he prepares to take the reins of governance on the 29th of May to enable his administration to deliver on its promises to the people . He reiterated his commitment to consolidating the legacies left behind by Gov. Nyesom Wike.
Sir Fubara assured of delivering more robust development initiatives that will guarantee the prosperity of all people of Rivers
