Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared that the plans of his adversaries will falter as he remains steadfast in his leadership.
Speaking during a New Year’s crossover service held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Opobo Town, in the Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area, Governor Fubara emphasized his unshaken confidence in God’s guidance as he leads the state into 2025.
In what has become a politically charged atmosphere, Governor Fubara has been embroiled in a lingering face-off with his estranged political ally and predecessor, Nyesom Wike. The feud, which erupted in late 2023, centers on the battle for control over Rivers State’s political structure.
Addressing the congregation, the governor raised a gallant hymn, leading worshippers in a heartfelt rendition:
At the mention of your name, God, every knee shall bow.
At the mention of your name, every tongue confesses.
That you are Lord, you are Lord, you are King, you are King of kings.
Fubara remarked that the song served as more than a prayer it was a rallying cry to embolden the people and solidify their faith in divine intervention.
The Red Biro is still filled. It is still here with me. Every enemy’s plan will continue to crash, he declared, reaffirming his determination to navigate challenges in the New Year.
Governor Fubara underscored the role of trust in God as the foundation for triumph over adversity, urging Rivers citizens to remain resolute and united in their aspirations for progress.
The declaration, delivered in a politically charged climate, resonates deeply as the state enters a pivotal year. Observers say it signals the governor’s determination to cement his position despite internal and external pressures.
