Fubara disclosed this at the 51st birthday celebration of Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), in Aluu.
Fubara emphasised his commitment to the responsible use of state resources for the public good and called on citizens to keep the administration in their prayers.
Governor Fubara explained his position before the congregation, attributing the political unrest to battles over the management of Rivers State’s wealth, The Punch reported.
Fubara appealed for continued support from the public, particularly in the form of prayers, to help the administration stay focused amid challenges, Vanguard reported.
The governor took a moment to recognise Apostle Chinyere’s humanitarian efforts, highlighting the cleric’s contributions to education and welfare in the state.
Noting the state of public amenities when he assumed office, Fubara praised Chinyere for addressing these gaps through his ministry’s programs.
In another development, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Peter Obi, the Labour Party leader and 2023 presidential candidate, spoke out against a recent court ruling that withholds funds from Rivers state, calling it “disturbing” and urging its reversal.
According to Obi, this ruling has far-reaching implications for those who depend on these funds, including pensioners, healthcare workers, teachers, civil servants, and everyday citizens already struggling with severe hardship.
