Rivers crisis: Leaving office worst thing that can happen to me – Fubara

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has declared that he is not afraid of the outcome of the ongoing political crisis in the state.

Fubara made this statement on Monday during the inauguration of residential quarters for Government House staff in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

The governor stated that the worst that could happen to him would be leaving office, adding that each time his administration attempts to achieve stability, obstacles arise, setting the state back to square one.

He commended the people of Rivers State for standing by his administration despite the political turbulence.

“No matter how much we have been deceived in this state, we have now reached a point where the people have decided to take their destiny into their own hands.

“Inasmuch as I do not support violence, when the time comes to make a decision, I will lead the charge.

“I’m not scared of anything; the worst that can happen is for me to leave office. Am I leaving the earth? Will it stop me from existing? I’m not bothered about that. The right thing must be done and said when the opportunity is given to us,” Fubara said.
