Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has said that his government would continue to prioritize the interest of people of the state under the mantra, ‘Rivers First’.
Fubara made this statement during the praise night organized by the state government to mark his first year in office, in Port Harcourt on Friday.
Represented by his deputy, Prof Ngozi Odu, the governor requested the support of the people to move the state forward.
He also called on the people to contribute their quota to assist the administration to achieve its vision of advancing the fortunes of the state.
The governor prayed that God would continue to move mountains on the path of the state, and make it better.
Fubara noted with happiness the spiritual ministrations and prophetic declarations by artistes during the event.
According to him, they were manifestations of the victory which God had sealed in the state.
“We shall continue to have this shared vision of putting Rivers state first, but we can’t do it alone.
‘’We need all of you, big and small, to be there for us, to chip in the little or the much you can, and at the end of this our first tenure, you will see where God will take Rivers state to,” he said.
Those at the event include the governor’s wife, Lady Valarie Fubara; former Governor Peter Odili and his wife, retired Justice Mary Odili; and Rivers State Chief Judge, Justice Simeon Amadi.
