The Rivers Alliance, a respected civic focused organisation in Rivers State, has again restated its firm and unshaken support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara,<\/p>\n
\u200edeclaring readiness to stand behind him should he decide to seek a second term in office.<\/p>\n
\u200e<\/p>\n
\u200eThis position was made known in a statement issued by Evans Osi, who explained that Governor Fubara’s achievements in improving security, enhancing public welfare, and fostering sustainable development are evident across the state.<\/p>\n
\u200e<\/p>\n
\u200eOsi expressed concern that only a few days after the Rivers State House of Assembly controversially endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term, the same lawmakers have refrained from extending similar support to their own governor.<\/p>\n
\u200e<\/p>\n
\u200eAccording to him, such a development raises questions about whose interest the lawmakers are truly representing.<\/p>\n
\u200e<\/p>\n
\u200eHe further observed that while a section of the Assembly seems to be acting under external influence, \u201cthe remaining six lawmakers appear to be patiently waiting for direction from their true leader.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u200e<\/p>\n
\u200eOsi described the unfolding situation as a reflection of a deeper challenge in the political culture of Rivers State.<\/p>\n
\u200e \u201cWe need to speak plainly. The style of politics we play in Rivers State is not healthy for our growth and development. If you look at Akwa Ibom, particularly Uyo, you will notice how political unity and alignment have aided peace, stability, and progress. Rivers State deserves the same,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
\u200eDespite internal political disagreements, Osi emphasized that the people of Rivers State are fully aware of the governor\u2019s visible contributions and steady leadership. He added that the Rivers Alliance remains committed to helping citizens stay well informed about political developments shaping the state\u2019s future. \u201cHow can a State Assembly endorse a serving President for a second term, yet refuse to extend the same courtesy to their own serving governor?\u201d he asked. \u201cSuch an action clearly suggests influence from powers outside the Assembly.”<\/p>\n
\u200eHe stressed that the Rivers Alliance acknowledges Governor Siminalayi Fubara\u2019s dedication, maturity in leadership, and commitment to the wellbeing of Rivers people.<\/p>\n
\u200e”As members of the Rivers Alliance, we recognise his efforts in stabilising the state, advancing development, and promoting inclusive governance,\u201d Osi said.<\/p>\n
\u200eThe group concluded by assuring that it will continue to monitor political developments in the state, engage citizens constructively, and support initiatives that strengthen peace, good governance, and collective progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
