STATEWIDE BROADCAST BY HIS EXCELLENCY, SIR SIMINALAYI FUBARA, GSSRS, ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2025

My dear good people of Rivers State

1. Recall that Rivers State was placed under a six-month emergency rule, declared by Mr. President, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the 18th of March, 2025, following the intense political crisis in our State.

2. It is without doubt that the last six months had been enormously challenging for our dear State under the emergency rule.

3. As your Governor, I accepted to abide by the state of emergency declaration and chose to cooperate with Mr. President and the National Assembly, guided by my conviction that no sacrifice was too great to secure peace, stability, and progress of Rivers State.

4. This was why I also resisted the pressure to challenge the constitutionality of the declaration of a state of emergency, the suspension of democratic institutions, and all other actions that we endured during this difficult period.

5. In the course of the six-month period, Mr. President graciously brokered the peace process with all the parties successfully. Our Leader, His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, all members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and I, as your Governor, have all accepted to bury the hatchet and embrace peace and reconciliation in the best interest of our dear Rivers State.

6. We believe the political crisis is now behind us and that peace and stability have once again returned to Rivers State, though not without the hard lessons learnt from the emergency rule.

7. The responsibility now rests squarely on us: the Government, the State House of Assembly, political leaders and stakeholders to put aside our differences, work for the common good, and advance the interests of our people above all else. We have a duty to ensure that the peace we have all embraced remains permanent in our dear Rivers State.

8. On behalf of the Government and the good people of Rivers State, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. President for his fatherly disposition and decisive interventions in resolving the political crisis and for graciously restoring full democratic governance to our State.

9. Personally, I will never take Mr. President's kindness for granted, and for that, I hereby reaffirm my utmost loyalty and eternal gratitude.

10. To those who have expressed genuine fears, frustrations, and uncertainty over the nature of the peace process, I assure you that your concerns are valid and understood. However, nothing has been irretrievably lost; there remains ample opportunity for necessary adjustments, continued reconciliation, and inclusiveness. We must all remember the saying... " the costliest peace is cheaper than the cheapest war".

11. Accordingly, let us, therefore, embrace this moment as a fresh beginning. Let us work together with renewed hope and determination to build a stronger, more peaceful and prosperous Rivers State. I assure you that we will continuously work towards ensuring that we carry everyone along.

12. Despite the turbulence, you are aware of the credible milestones our administration achieved in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and other key sectors over the last two years.

13. Our immediate responsibility is to return to the path of governance and development by completing the projects which we started by ensuring none of them is starved of funds or neglected, thereby reviving our economy, protecting lives and property, and improving the wellbeing of all Rivers people.

14. I commit to working harmoniously with the Rivers State House of Assembly to recover lost grounds and accelerate the social and economic advancement of our dear State. I also renew my pledge to serve with the fear of God, humility and a high sense of duty.

15. I wish to sincerely thank you, the resilient people of Rivers State, for your patience, courage, and peaceful conduct during the six months of emergency rule.

Sim Fubara
Executive Governor, Rivers State

This spineless big coward has nothing to say to anyone

Welcome back your Excellency

Is this the democracy the West practice??

How can a president enable a former governor control a whole state?

Is like having ekpeazu control Otti n dictate everything in his government.

How do u expect true progress?

Mtchew... fubara Don fall hands tbh,

There are only two tribes in Nigeria

The oppressor and the oppressed

Apcshit:

What do you obidientss really want, would you rather like Rivers State to be in crisis or peace.
Just shift your attention to your state affairs

Chicken governor. You accepted their terms just for your selfish and personal reasons. Shame on you. Now you can’t even do a thing and function freely cos you are surrounded by 90% enemies. Would have. Even better to resign honestly and keep your dignity

Omo time flies ooo we don enter September already

Try at all times to Prepare well and analyze well before challenging others. So that you will not fight for the wrong course or be humiliated or make mistakes

Apcshit:

You people pushed him to his own downfall. He has learnt his lesson. When hc was done what did you do to show you are not spineless?

Whenever I see this man.. I smile..lol

Knowledge is knowing that his name his Fubara but wisdom is knowing that his real name is Amaka..


May God not put our success in the hands of people that would convert us from Chinedu to Justina..

Fubara has been gentled

Promises to be a good boy

But Wike should know power is transient, no man last or reigns for ever. Whatever we do today will be talked about even decades after you leave the face of this earth either good or bad.

With this broadcast,Fubara has become enemy of some who hitherto said he is the best thing after jollof rice,they will henceforth call him so many names and tag him a coward....Just watch out.

He has accepted Wike to be his boss and leader. He shouldn’t have bitten the hands that fed him in the first place. Where were those cheering him to be fighting Wike, when he was suspended ? They all disappeared and made him lose 6 whole months from his tenure.


The State assembly members he didn’t want to work it, he has no choice than to work with them now same with the LG election he didn’t want to conduct as Wike wanted has now being conducted while he was on suspension.


In the end, Fubara is the sole loser in this issue. People should learn from his mistakes!

Why e come dey do eye like opkolor nah.

Dis na Osakpolor Senior brother o

The Obidients pushing Fubara, look at the condition of their states. Everywhere they put hand peace never follows. Everywhere they go there is always conflict.

They say they are brave and not cowards but after they destroy their land with "bravery" they run to the lands of the “cowards”!

Know who to listen to. Stooping to conquer is a saying for a reason…..because it works.

You wey get spine, where has it gotten you to?

Social media and making cats feel like they have opinion in the affairs of lions.

I just dey pity this man and I don't know why. Wike has taken control of this man's life
