Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has vowed that his administration will continue to protect and defend the interest of Rivers State no matter the situation.
Governor Fubara made this known while speaking to members of the Inter Party Advisory Council, IPAC, Rivers State chapter led by the State Chairman, Sensei Solsuema Osaro Esq in Government House, Port Harcourt, on Monday.
The governor said his desire is to sustain peace and development in the state as any right thinking person should always think first of Rivers interest, adding that there must be Rivers State before any platform or political strength.
“No matter what the situation, and no matter how bitter any person can be for one reason or the other, people should first think of Rivers State.
“If there is no Rivers State, there won’t be a platform, and there will be no place to exercise that political strength we are claiming.”
Sir Fubara urged members of IPAC to maintain peace and be constructive in their criticism as it will enable him to do well.
He promised the group of seeking their inputs in subsequent appointments and assured them of continuous support to carry out their activities in the State.

He emphasised that the group after due evaluation has passed a vote of confidence on the governor and assured of their support to succeed in delivering quality leadership to Rivers people.
“Having keenly followed your administration’s human and infrastructural development agenda since its inauguration on May 29, 2023, we have no reason to doubt Your Excellency’s genuine intentions to improve the lot of Rivers people. Do not be distracted because Rivers people are with you. Your resilience is our courage,” he noted.
“Today, we have unanimously endorsed you as our Grand Patron and leader. Accept our special presentations in this regard,” he concluded.
