The suspended governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has revealed how depression has set in for him over the declaration of State of Emergency in the state by President Tinubu. LEADERSHIP recalls that Tinubu suspended Fubara; his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, and all members of the State House of Assembly, for an initial period of six months, over the prolonged political crisis in the State.
He appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, a retired Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), as sole administrator of the State. Speaking with Muslim leaders during Sollah homage at his private residence in Port Harcourt on Monday, Fubara said he and his team were depressed over the situation. “We, as humans, might feel a bit depressed because of the situation.
Maybe because of what we are seeing, but we might not understand that what is deeper and beyond us happened,” he said. “But in everything, we have decided to give glory to the Almighty God. “No matter what we see, we must remain steadfast.
In all things, we give glory to Almighty God. I believe that, in the end, we will emerge stronger. If God could be patient with Noah to allow even the snail to enter the Ark, then patience remains an essential virtue in our struggle,” Fubara told his guests.
