In a powerful show of solidarity, Governor Fubara thanked all those who supported his government, underscoring that Rivers State’s future lies in the collective effort of its citizens. “We are not in this alone; together, we will build a state that is resilient, prosperous, and a source of pride for all,” he concluded.

Governor Fubara’s address was a firm statement of resolve, signaling to detractors and allies alike that the government’s mission will continue unimpeded, focused on advancing the welfare of the state’s people and achieving long-term success.
