Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state, says he has been delivering projects even when his political opponents thought they had weakened his administration.

The governor, who did not mention who his political opponents are, stated this on Saturday during the commissioning of a 14.1 kilometre road project in Omuma LGA of the state.

EKO HOT BLOG recalls that Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, have been at logger heads over issues of Rivers state.

Their rift has sharply divided the state House of Assembly that has continued opearate as factions.

Fubara said the project would lead to the development of the area.

“We are here, I don’t want to sing praises about this administration because governance is about serving the people, providing services, and protecting lives,” Nelson Chukwudi, chief press secretary to the governor, quoted him as saying.

“If we don’t tell our stories, nobody is going to tell it for us. So, we have decided to tell the world, showcase to the world what we have done.

“When they thought we were being emasculated, we were behind working, and this is one of those things we have done quietly to showcase that the interest of our people is paramount in our administration.

“This project we are about to inaugurate today is a 14.1 kilometer project. It is a project that starts from Eberi, in fact for me, it is an inter-state project because it takes you from Rivers state to Abia state, and you can imagine the significance of this project.

“It is not about me. I am not the one doing it with my resources. It is just that I am the one managing and directing the affairs of the state,” Fubara said.

Earlier, chairman of the Omuma Local Government Area, Promise Reginald,
said the project had given hope and a sense of belonging to the Omuma people.
