Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has described the ruling by the State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, which upheld his electoral victory in the March 18 elections, as the beginning of the confirmation of the trust expressed in him by the people of the state.
Fubara stated this on Monday night during a brief Thanksgiving Service that held at the Chapel of Everlasting Grace, Government House, Port Harcourt.
The Thanksgiving service was attended by the deputy governor, Dr. Ngozi Odu and some members of the State Executive Council as well as leaders of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
The governor restated the commitment of his administration not to disappoint the expectations of Rivers people.
He explained that the place of God in his administration will not be compromised, which is why they have gathered to thank Him for his unceasing direction and guidance, which made his emergence as governor possible at the polls that has now been affirmed by the Tribunal.
Fubara particularlymthanked the immediate-past governor of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, for his immense support to his governorship bid, following through the stages of the legal contest, and to Rivers people who rallied behind him to allow the will of God to prevail for the State.
The governor, who solicited for more support, also enjoined Rivers people to be patient with his administration as it delivers good governance that will make their lives better.
In his exhortation, the chaplain of the Chapel of Everlasting Grace, Government House, Port Harcourt, Rev. Barasin Ogan, said it is good to give God thanks, which is what the governor has done.
Ogan declared that the hand of God was upon Governor Fubara and will strengthen him to work in mercy while delivering justice without bias and showing mercy without ceasing.
