Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has said that his government would continue to do all possible to guarantee that Rivers people’s expectations are satisfied, regardless of political distractions.
Fubara made the guarantee immediately after swearing in five new commissioners and two special advisors in the Executive Council Chambers of the Government House in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
He argued that governance entails the provision of high-quality infrastructure and acceptable social amenities that contribute to people’s enjoyment of life.
Governor Fubara emphasized that his government will stay focused and determined to fulfill its obligation to justify the support of over 8 million Rivers people.
Hon. Ilamu Arugu (Abua/Odual); Dr Roland Obed-Whyte (Degema); Sir Austin Emeka Nnadozie (Etche); Hon. Samuel Eyiba (Ahoada West); and Hon Samuel Anya (Abia State) were sworn in as commissioners, while Barrister Forgive Amachree (Ahoada-West) and Mr Achor Nna (Obio-Akpor) served as Special Advisers.
Governor Fubara said:
“We are into governance now, not politics. When we get to politics, we will talk about politics. But today, what we are doing here is welcoming you onboard, charging you to be good ambassadors, not just to this administration, but to your people.
“It is a call to duty. Work in a manner so that everybody will be happy. Governance is about making the people happy, and that is our aim.
“At the end of the day, Rivers people will not ask us what or the number of court judgements that we have or the protests that we did. They want to see results. Joining us today is to help us to have enough A’s on our report card.”
