Rivers: Fubara Apolitical In His Approach To Governance – Investor

A real estate investor, Mr. My-Ace China, has said that Rivers State is beginning to enjoy the best of media perception because of Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s apolitical approach to governance.

Mr. China, who is the chief executive officer of Construction and Housing Mayor Limited, disclosed this in Port Harcourt after receiving the DMOMA 2024 Man of the Year award.

He said: “The Garden City has not been enjoying the best of media perception for some years now, but this is the first time we have a governor who has committed to non-political bias in his work. He does not consider whether you are a member of his party or not before doing what is right.

“For the first time, we have a true father of the state to all, and he has been diligently following the blue print that stakeholders developed at the last Rivers Economic and Investment Summit, making sure he is doing it without political cronyism.”

The real estate investor stated that there is a need for more sponsorship of talents in Port Harcourt and the Niger Delta, saying what they lacked was support.

China said: “There is more talent in Port Harcourt, but there is more support in Lagos to artists than in Port Harcourt. So, the top talents in Port Harcourt work 10 times harder than those in Lagos to attract sponsorship.”

He said Nigeria has a treasure base in Port Harcourt, but the treasure is not oil and gas but talents. He added that he was highly elated to win the Man of the Year with his firm winning brand of the year.

The real estate investor said 2025 would meet him doing things with the youths of Rivers State to push the Port Harcourt brand in the social media and rally the traditional press to create a positive narrative of Rivers State beyond violence and political negativity.
