Siminalayi Fubara, the suspended governor of Rivers state, says he feels depressed over the declaration of emergency rule in the state.
BACKGROUND
Tinubu also suspended Fubara as governor of the state; Ngozi
Odu, the deputy governor; and all members of the Rivers assembly for an initial
period of six months.
The president appointed Ibok-Ete Ibas, a retired naval
chief, as the state’s sole administrator.
‘WE FEEL DEPRESSED’
Speaking on Monday when Muslim leaders visited him at his private residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital, Fubara said he and his team feel 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 has happened,” he said.
“But in everything, we have decided to give glory to the
almighty God.
“This season is one of love, sharing, and sacrifice. You
have come to share in our pain and have made a great sacrifice through your
prayers,” he said.
“As Christians, we believe that everything happens for a
purpose, and I strongly believe that this situation is leading us toward a
greater purpose.
“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 urged his supporters to remain patient and unprovoked
by “those fanning the embers of violence and disunity” in the south-south
state.
