The Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has reiterated his commitment to serving the people of the state during an address to a delegation from Azuabie-Okujaku communities. He emphasized his dedication to partnership with those advocating for progress and sustainable development.
Represented by the Head of Rivers State Civil Service, Dr. George Nwaeke, Governor Fubara expressed gratitude for the organic support from the people. He acknowledged their role in electing him and stressed the importance of their input in governance.
He stated: “You are the people that voted him into power, and that is why you have the right also to say that these are the things you need. The Governor also recognises the contributions of your sons and daughters who have served the State in different ways. Your community is one of the greatest communities in the State because it has produced men that have contributed in no small measure to the growth of Rivers State.
“I want to beg of you, as you go home, let every person here be an ambassador, everybody in your community. Tell them that the Governor means well for his people. Tell your people that their Governor is still sitting in the place they elected him to sit, and taking the right decisions. We know there could be people who may be tempted with money to be Judas. But tell them to shun money. Tell them that what matters at this time is the people, and the Governor is people-centred.”
Governor Fubara also commended the community for their collaborative efforts in self-development projects, contrasting their approach with that of other communities who often vandalize government projects in their areas.
Meanwhile, Elder Tamunotonkaye Adolphus, speaking on behalf of Azuabie-Okujaku communities, expressed their unwavering support for Governor Fubara’s administration. He praised the Governor’s performance, achievements, and peaceful demeanor, expressing hope for government intervention in neglected areas, particularly roads and public schools.
