Rivers crisis: Fubara speaks on being an ingrate

Notwithstanding accusations made against him in some places, Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara stated on Monday that he is not an unappreciative or evil person.

Fubara expressed his gratitude to everyone who has helped him and added that this gratitude has forced him to handle the state’s current political situation with caution rather than carelessly.

He was speaking at the state’s Government House in Port Harcourt to guests of the Ikwerre ethnic nationality.

Fubara stated that if he had been ungrateful, it would have been hard for him to hide it in a statement released by his chief press secretary, Nelson Chukwudi.

He said: “I want to also say this: Fubara is not an ungrateful person. If I were a bad person, I can’t hide a character that is bad for more than one week, two weeks, one month, one year, two years, eight years, or even more than eight years. For 16 years, if I were a bad person, everybody would have known.

“But, even your own child that is in your house that you have given birth to, let us start with even the girl child. It gets to a stage where your girl child will enter the bathroom and lock the door from behind.

“Even if they forcefully put a feeding bottle in my mouth, if I get filled up, won’t I pull it out? So, when people stand outside and say what they say, I want you people to ask them to tell you, in their own good conscience, what is that bad thing, that wickedness, that ungratefulness that this man (Fubara) has ever shown or done. But I leave that one to God, who will judge everybody.”
