A former Governor of Rivers State Peter Odili has endorsed Governor Siminalayi Fubara as the political leader of the state. The former governor also praised the governor for defending the interests of the people.
Odili, who ruled Rivers State between 1999 and 2007 said that Fubara has attained the position of leadership having 'secured his electoral victory both through the ballot and the courts.' He spoke on Thursday at the commissioning of a Primary Healthcare Centre donated by his PAMO Foundation in Ndoni. The ex-Governor warned that 'if Rivers State sneezes, the entire Nigeria would catch cold,' urging Fubara 'to act with this awareness in all your decision.
Odili encouraged the governor to maintain this alignment with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his policies to attract federal government attention and support to the state. “Thanks for standing up to defend the interest of all Rivers people. We are proud of you. Politics is over; it is now time for governance. You have hit the ground running,' he said.
