Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara has declared that he is in the office to stay asserting that no man is.more powerful than God.
Fubara assured the people that he would make a difference in governance saying he was merely a watcher and not a controller over the affairs of the state.
The Governor said those seeking absolute control got obsessed with power, became ruthless and delightfully trampled on the rights and liberties of the people they should ordinarily dedicate themselves to serve.
But he said he was not like them insisting that he would continue to watch over the affairs of the state entrusted in his care with the fear of God, and make Rivers people truly proud of his time of service.
Fubara gave the assurance at the baby dedication service in honour of the family of Mr and Mrs Henry Wordu at the Royal House of Grace International Church in Rumueme Community, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the State on Sunday.

The Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare II, has told the Labour Party’s candidate for the forthcoming Edo state gubernatorial election, Olumide Akpata to stop calling himself as the “child of the palace.”
The monarch made the statement when Akpata, accompanied by former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, met him in his palace in Benin City.
During the meeting, Akpata repeatedly referred to himself as a “son of the Palace” in both English and the local dialect.
However, the Oba swiftly dismissed the assertions, stating that he had asked one of his chiefs to verify Akpata’s claims, only to find that the candidate had no direct or distant links to the palace.
