Former Governor of Rivers State, Peter Odili, has officially endorsed Governor Siminalayi Fubara as the political leader of the state. Odili commended Fubara for his dedication to defending the interests of the people and acknowledged his electoral victory through both the ballot and the courts.
Speaking at the commissioning of a Primary Healthcare Centre donated by his PAMO Foundation in Ndoni, Odili emphasized the importance of Fubara’s leadership, stating that “if Rivers State sneezes, the entire Nigeria would catch cold.” He urged Fubara to make decisions with this awareness in mind and highlighted the significant progress the governor has made in various sectors within his first year in office.
Odili also encouraged Fubara to continue aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his policies to attract federal government attention and support to the state. He praised Fubara for standing up to defend the interests of all Rivers people and emphasized the transition from politics to governance.
“Your government is aligning correctly with President Tinubuā€™s government, especially in the area of education, agriculture, and now the health sector,” Odili stated. He conveyed the message from the people of Rivers State, declaring Fubara as their political leader and expressing their unwavering support for him.
As Fubara continues to lead Rivers State, Odili advised him to stay focused and maintain alignment with positive policies to benefit the people of the state. The endorsement from Odili solidifies Fubara’s position as a key figure in Rivers State politics, with the support and backing of the people behind him.
