In a bold response to a recent Federal High Court order restricting the release of Rivers State’s federal allocations, Governor Siminalayi Fubara has assured citizens that his administration remains undeterred. Addressing a crowd of supporters at a special thanksgiving service organized by the state government on Wednesday, Fubara described the court’s decision as “the least” of his concerns, emphasizing his commitment to the state’s ongoing development.
Governor Fubara’s comments reflect his administration’s determination to keep Rivers State’s wheels of progress turning, despite the financial constraints posed by the court’s ruling. With contractors and state workers looking on, he pledged that all payments to contractors would proceed as planned, and that workers’ salaries would continue without disruption. “Our commitment to the people of Rivers State stands strong. No legal challenge will deter us from fulfilling our obligations,” he affirmed passionately.
The announcement by Port Harcourt Socials, through their official X handle, has sparked widespread discussion, as citizens and political observers debate the possible impacts of the court’s restriction on Rivers’ finances. Some see Governor Fubara’s stance as a testament to his resilience and dedication, while others are watching closely to see how the standoff between state and federal authorities unfolds.
Governor Fubara’s bold response highlights a key message: the welfare of Rivers State will not be sacrificed, regardless of legal or political obstacles. His firm declaration underscores his administration’s unwavering commitment to pushing forward, promising stability and continuity for Rivers State residents during uncertain times.
