Siminalayi Fubara, Rivers State Governor, on Friday, said there is no cause to worry over the recent decision of the Court of Appeal concerning the State House of Assembly crisis. Speaking during an inspection of the Zonal Hospital reconstruction in Bori Town, Governor Fubara assured the people of Rivers State that his administration is steadfast in delivering good governance. He emphasized that the appellate court's ruling, which dismissed a previous restraining order against certain lawmakers, signifies a phase that has passed.

"We are not deterred," Governor Fubara affirmed, highlighting his commitment to fulfilling campaign promises despite governmental challenges. He referenced Psalm 23:5 to illustrate resilience in the face of adversity, noting that progress often comes amidst challenges. The governor emphasized the importance of continuing development efforts, including the recent funding allocation for reconstructing and expanding four zonal hospitals.

According to Channels Television News reports, 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.
