Governor of River State, Siminalayi Fubara, has revealed that the pressure mounted by political crisis in the state has lessened drastically. Thus, giving way for his administration to provide focused leadership and governance to the people.
He made this assertion during a courtesy visit he hosted for members of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions, at Government House in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
This was also contained in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi on Sunday.
Fubara further stated that as long as his administration and the Rivers people are concerned, there is no more political issue of note.
He further referred to a movie he had seen a long time ago. According to Fubara, pressure from the unwarranted political crisis served as a foundation to strengthen his commitment to service that is now impacting lives positively.
He said, “As far as we are concerned, there are no political issues. I had seen a movie many years ago, entitled, ‘Devil’s Advocate.’ I believe some of you must have seen that movie too.
“One of the starring characters: Al Pacino said, that pressure makes some people retreat or fail, and to others, it makes them become focused on succeeding. We have chosen to be focused under this pressure.
“That is why we are moving ahead. That is why we are making a positive impact on the lives of our people. Governance is about the people. It is not about self.
“Governance is about touching the core needs of those people we are leading, and by the special grace of God, we are doing it.
