“As far as we are concerned, there are no political issues. I had seen a movie many years ago, entitled, ‘Devil’s Advocate.’ I believe some of you must have seen that movie too,”

“One of the starring characters: Al Pacino said, that pressure makes some people retreat or fail, and to others, it makes them become focused on succeeding. We have chosen to be focused under this pressure.”

Fubara’s Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, made this known in a statement issued on Sunday, May 5. The Punch reports.

Fubara said the unwarranted political crisis has helped him to remain focused on making a positive impact on the lives of the people.
