Rivers Commissioner for Environment, Tambari Sydney Gbara, has stated that Governor Siminalayi Fubara would complete eight years in office and produce his successor in 2031.
The commissioner’s statement is coming against the backdrop of the political tussle between the Governor and the camp of his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
In a post on his Facebook page, Gbara, who was the immediate past Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, said Fubara’s enemies thought they would unseat him within three weeks but were shocked when their plan failed.
He likened the scenario to the war between Russia and Ukraine, suggesting that the Governor had become the Ukraine that Russia thought they could defeat in a jiffy.
Gbara said the governor’s enemies took his humility for granted and underestimated his powers, adding that Fubara’s strength had been his insistence on peace and protection of the state’s interest.
Addressing the Governor, he said, “They mistook your humility for weakness,they thought that they will kick you out of office in three weeks, just as Russia thought of Ukraine.
Their nemesis today was undermining and underrating you,but your demeanor and disposition for peace despite their provocative antics in the interest of the State, is a rare leadership virtue,which you have demonstrated all along.
I have learnt a lot working with you my leader, this is why I know that in the face of all these,you will come out victorious because you are a man of grace and the gods of the land are happy with you.
Last week they vented their frustration on destruction of public properties, maiming and shooting innocent souls in the State, which is a clear indication that God has left them and they are now willing tools in the hands of the devil.
No man can play God, You will complete your 8 years tenure with ease and produce a successor in 2031.
We the SIMplified Movement in Khana LGA and the State in general, are solidly behind you come rain come shine. We move!
