The suspended governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has expressed that the political climate in the state could lead to feelings of depression.
Speaking with Muslim leaders who visited him at his residence in Port Harcourt, Fubara stated:
“As humans, we may feel somewhat depressed due to the situation and what we are witnessing, but there may be deeper forces at play that are beyond our understanding. Despite this, we continue to give glory to God. During this season of joy, love, and sacrifice, I want you to know that I share in your celebration. I remain optimistic that we will emerge stronger.
Our vision for this state is a society where no one is oppressed. This is a crucial part of our struggle. Please remain patient and do not let anyone provoke you, as their goal is to cause division and disrupt our peace. They seek to undermine your livelihoods, but we will not allow that. We will continue to uphold peace and respect for the authorities, ensuring that Rivers State remains a model for others in Nigeria.”
