Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara has vowed to surprise anybody, who dares him following the political crisis rocking the State.
He said he would particularly surprise those, who considered his honest decision to implement the presidential peace pact as a sign of weakness.
Governor Fubara, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Nelson Chukwudi, said he had been inundated with comments in the media about the implementation of the peace initiative but chose to be silent out of maturity and wisdom.
He emphasised that the peace deal initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and accepted by all stakeholders including him was a political solution to the crisis that engulfed the State on October 30,2023.
Fubara said he only decided to immediately begin the implementation of the agreement solely because of his respect for President Tinubu.
But he observed that other political actors had taken his humility and compliance as a sign of weakness.
The Governor said: “Let me say it here for record purposes: What is happening here in our dear State is somebody who has respect for an elder.
Fubara spoke while receiving members of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) from the 23 local government areas on a solidarity rally at Government House Gate, in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
He said their large number was proof of the organic support his administration had continued to enjoy from the people of the state.
He said: “Some days ago, somebody said we are busy renting crowd for thanksgiving. But what I have seen here today, it’s not different from what is happening at those thanksgiving rallies. People are just appreciating God and good governance.
Fubara said that he was mindful of the legacy he would bequeath after his tenure.
