Worst is over – Fubara assures as Appeal Court reinstates 27 Rivers lawmaker


Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State declared on Friday that the worst is over because his administration remains undeterred in fulfilling good governance.

Fubara was reacting to the Appeal Court ruling that reinstated the 27 lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Addressing journalists in Khana, Khana Local Government Area, the governor expressed his confidence in God’s guidance.

According to Fubara: “I know that a lot of you will be wondering what is going on and all that. Government has its own challenges. If you go to the Book of Psalms, 23 verse 5, in the Bible, it says that God prepares a table before you; it can be before anybody.

“But there is an underlined word that should be noted there: it says ‘in the presence of your enemies’ So, it means that nothing comes easy.

“I want to assure every one of you and the good people of Rivers State, that we are not deterred. We have made our promises, and we will continue to give you good governance, no matter how difficult it is.

“But, like I said before, the worst is over. We are moving on to ensure that we continue to provide what is needed for the development of our state.”
