Members of the House of Representatives, under the G-60 group, have called for continued support for Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Led by Imo State lawmaker Ikenga Ugochinyere, the group visited the Government House in Port Harcourt, with at least 30 lawmakers present.
The lawmakers first joined Governor Fubara at St Paul’s Anglican Church for a Special Thanksgiving Service celebrating his first anniversary in office. The group, comprising members from various political parties and states, was then hosted by the governor for a brief discussion at the Government House.
Speaking for G-60, Ugochinyere praised Governor Fubara for maintaining focus despite recent challenges. He commended the governor's achievements in infrastructure and people-oriented policies, highlighting projects like the Trans-Kalabari Road, the Port Harcourt Ring Road, and the Elele-Egbeda-Omoku Road, which are expected to benefit the state significantly.
“We are here to express our support for Governor Fubara and acknowledge his achievements. We call on the people of Rivers to continue standing firmly with him so he can fulfill his promises to the state,” Ugochinyere stated.
He also congratulated Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Victor Oko-Jumbo, for his solidarity with the governor, which has facilitated the delivery of democratic dividends through Executive-Legislature cooperation.
Ugochinyere urged all stakeholders to prioritize the interests of Rivers State, emphasizing that public service is about trust and institution, not personal interests. He called for unity in working with Governor Fubara to achieve development goals, noting the governor's short but impactful tenure so far.
