“God & Tinubu’s Special Favour Brought Me Back as Governor” – Fubara

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State on Saturday attributed his successful return to office to the combined forces of the “special grace of God” and the “special favour” extended to him by President Bola Tinubu.

Dependable NG reports that Governor Fubara had been suspended for six months following a deep political crisis involving him, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and the state legislators. President Tinubu intervened, leading to Fubara’s reinstatement and the resolution of the conflict between the governor, Wike, and the lawmakers.

Speaking at the combined 37th and 38th convocation ceremony of the Rivers State University, Nkpolu-Oroworukwu in Port Harcourt, the governor affirmed his administration’s commitment to fully funding the institution and supporting its staff and students.

Fubara reflected on his political challenges: “Like you said, a report was given to us. But you all know what happened in the life of our administration. It is only by the special grace of God, the special favour from Mr President, that we are standing here still as the ones presiding over the affairs of Rivers State.”

He pledged to continue fulfilling his promises to the educational sector, adding: “We will continue to fulfil our financial obligations to the university, ensuring improved infrastructure as well as the security and welfare of staff and students. Education remains the most vital investment for national development.”
