The governor of Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara, has called for calm in the state amidst the ongoing impeachment proceeding initiated by the State House of Assembly against him and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu.
Governor Fubara made the call during a church service held to mark the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, at St Cyprian’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt.
The Governor urged residents of the state to remain calm in the face of the threats by the lawmakers, assuring residents that everything would be fine.
Fubara explained that his decision to remain silent in the face of distractions was deliberate, noting that he draws strength from his faith in God.
In his words
“I said something that dogs bark when they don’t understand. Now, see, a lot of you don’t understand, and that’s the reason why I don’t shout, I don’t complain. I know what I have.
I know that I have what is supreme, and that is God. So, I want everyone to be relaxed. What is important is peace for these dear states, and we’ll get it by the special name of God.”
