The Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, declared that his administration has triumphed over those who sought to undermine them, noting that their detractors are now facing the consequences of their schemes.
He expressed satisfaction with the supportive gestures from the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), encouraging the Ijaw Nation to join in celebrating the current state of liberation in the state.
Fubara made these remarks while receiving the national and state leadership of the IYC during a solidarity walk to the Government House in Port Harcourt on Thursday, in commemoration of the 2024 Issac Adaka Boro Day. He praised Major Isaac Adaka Boro for championing equity, justice, and fair play, and for his efforts towards the liberation of the Ijaw people and their communities.
The Governor emphasized that every true Rivers indigene is a liberator, expressing his delight in receiving them on such a significant day to reaffirm their shared commitment to liberation.
He said, “Because he stood for that unique thing, even after his death, we still celebrate him because he was a liberator.
“Every Rivers man, it doesn’t matter whether you are Ijaw or upland, the most important thing is that every genuine Rivers man must be a liberator.
“And I’m happy that you have come here today. I have also received you because we have one common purpose: to liberate our dear State. We are not going back on that.”
The Governor stated that the target of the renewed crisis in the state was to distract his one year in office celebration, but that those behind it are sleeping with their eyes opened.
He said: “I am happy that you’ve told me this morning that when I call on you, you will respond. But there is nothing to call on you for. Because we have already defeated them.
“By the special grace of God, what they thought that they would have done to us while we were celebrating our one year in office, they are the ones sleeping with their two eyes open. It shows that we have the Ijaw blood. And what is that blood: it is the blood of action; less talk, more action.”
