Governor Siminalayi Fubara has been referred to as the future “General” of Rivers politics by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Jonathan emphasised the value of peace for the advancement of the state while urging the people of Rivers to continue supporting Fubara during a chieftaincy installation ceremony in Etche Local Government Area.

“I know you (Gov. Fubara) are passing through challenges, and at occasions like these, I try to keep quiet. I don’t like to say certain things. This is the first time you are holding a top political office. You will face a lot. But remember, nobody becomes a General without fighting wars. Whatever challenges you face now are preparing you to be a General in politics. With your commitment and the support I see from the people of Rivers, God will see you through,” Jonathan said.

He also cautioned that any state instability would have a detrimental impact on the entire nation.

“We want a peaceful Rivers State because it is the centre of the Niger Delta. If we create problems in Rivers State, we create a crisis in the Niger Delta, which is detrimental to our economy. We need a peaceful state, and we want the governor to remain calm and focus on his work,” Jonathan added.

“He has stood by me through this difficult period of our administration,” Governor Fubara replied, thanking the former president for supporting him during trying times.
