Siminalayi Fubara, Governor of Rivers State, reassured citizens on Friday that there is no need for concern regarding the recent Court of Appeal decision about the State House of Assembly crisis.
During an inspection of the Zonal Hospital reconstruction in Bori Town, Governor Fubara promised the people of Rivers State that his administration remains dedicated to delivering good governance.
He explained that the appellate court's ruling, which lifted a previous restraining order against certain lawmakers, represents a phase that has now passed.
"We are not deterred," Governor Fubara asserted, emphasizing his commitment to fulfilling campaign promises despite governmental challenges. Drawing from Psalm 23:5, he illustrated resilience in the face of adversity, noting that progress often comes amidst difficulties.
He stressed the importance of continuing development efforts, including the recent funding allocation for reconstructing and expanding four zonal hospitals.
Addressing public concerns, Fubara said, “I know that a lot of you will be wondering what is going on and all that. Government has its own challenges. If you go to the book of Psalm 23 verse 5, in the Bible, it said that God prepares a table before you; it can be before anybody. But there is an underlined word that should be noted here: it said ‘in the presence of your enemies’. So, it means that nothing comes easy.”
Governor Fubara expressed satisfaction with the contractors' dedication to realizing his administration's healthcare vision, praising their alignment with state goals. He reiterated that the absence of functional zonal hospitals upon assuming office prompted immediate action to enhance healthcare infrastructure.
"In the presence of challenges, we remain focused on providing necessary amenities for our people," Governor Fubara declared. He emphasized that his administration's priority is to deliver quality governance despite legal and administrative hurdles.
Channels Television News reported that Governor Fubara is committed to maintaining focus on development initiatives, particularly in healthcare, ensuring that the needs of Rivers State residents are met.
Despite the legal and administrative challenges, he is determined to push forward with his administration’s agenda to improve the quality of life for the people.
