The Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has unapologetically declared that real people with integrity and character are solidly standing with his administration.
He emphasised that, in life, it
is more profitable for an individual to acknowledge what is right, and refuse
to yield to negative persuasions to remain true to it.
Fubara made the assertion while
addressing the people at the country home of a former governor, Mr Peter Odili
in Ndoni Town, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area shortly after the
commissioning of a Primary Health Centre in the community.
This was contained in a
statement issued in Port Harcourt on Sunday by the Chief Press Secretary to the
governor, Nelson Chukwudi, and sent to newsmen.
According to the statement, the
health centre was built by the PAMO Educational Foundation, founded by Dr
Odili, and donated to the state government for use by the people.
Fubara, who expressed delight
in being part of the event appreciated the Ndoni people for supporting their
own.
He explained, “I’ve said it
before, and I’m saying it again: it doesn’t matter the number of people that
stand with you. Even if you’re standing alone, no matter the side you’re
standing on, provided you are standing on the right side, maintain your stand.
And we are happy to stand with him (Odili).
“We are also happy that he is
standing with us. Even his person alone is giving people high blood pressure.
They are restless, granting all sorts of media interviews.
“Why are they doing it? It is
because the people that matter, the people that have what they claimed they
have; integrity, are with us. That is the truth.
“So, if we have one person who
has integrity and character, is it not better than having 1,000 persons with
questionable character? So, we are happy to identify with him.
The governor restated his
promise of making sure that everything that is needed to make the health centre
function maximally would be supplied to further support the people of the community.
