The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has said that he is not scared of impeachment by the House of Assembly.
The governor reiterated his commitment to leadership and fearlessness in the face of political challenges, declaring that he is not scared of anything.
He disclosed this on Monday while inaugurating the reconstructed Rivers State Government House Staff Quarters along Forces Avenue, Old GRA, Port Harcourt.
Fubara emphasized his resolve to stand firm in making crucial decisions for the state.
“Inasmuch as I don’t subscribe to violence, when the time comes for us to take a decision, I will lead the course for that decision. Let me say it again: I am not scared of anything; the worse that will happen is for me to leave the office. Am I leaving the earth? Is it going to stop me from existing?
The governor urged the people of Rivers State not to be discouraged by the recent Supreme Court judgment but to remain steadfast and prepared for the challenges ahead.
He assured them that, despite any setbacks, divine support would guide them through.
“Our back is not on anybody; it is on God. I want to thank you for your support and assure you that, if there is one person on this planet earth that will continue to stand by you, I will be that person,” he stated.
The governor further assured the people that his leadership would be characterized by honour, respect, and integrity, stressing that his actions today would be ones he could defend decades from now.
“I assure you that I will lead you with honour, I will lead you with respect, and I will lead you with integrity, knowing that when I leave here, I will have questions to answer if I am called upon 20 – 30 years from today. I want to be proud to defend my position. So, I thank you and assure you that I will not disappoint you.”
The governor, however, stressed that Rivers people must now take their destinies into their own hands, stating that the time had fully come for them to stand firm against adversaries and external influences attempting to manipulate the state’s affairs.
