Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has expressed gratitude to God following his reinstatement.
Naijaonpoint reports that Fubara attended his first Sunday church service at Saint Paul’s Anglican Church in his hometown of Opobo, Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area.
Fubara who was accompanied by his wife, Valerie, and a cross-section of stakeholders, acknowledged God’s faithfulness to his family, the state, and the nation.
He also used the occasion of International Day of Peace to thank his worshippers for their prayers and to urge calm as his administration resumes work.
Sharing photos of the church service via his 𝕏 handle, Fubara wrote, “In thanksgiving and to glorify God Almighty for His boundless mercy, divine guidance and steadfast love, my wife and I had the honour of worshipping at our home church, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Opobo Kingdom.
“The service was also a moment to sincerely appreciate the church and the good people of Rivers State, whose fervent prayers remain our reservoir of strength and courage on this journey of service.
“As we commemorate International Peace Day today, we will continue to walk together in harmony, guided by faith, unity and a sense of purpose. To God alone be the glory.”
The service comes after the lifting of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu in March ordered emergency rule following political instability that ensued as a result of a clash between Fubara and his predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
After his reinstatement, Fubara, during a state broadcast, described the emergency rule period as “enormously challenging” but said he willingly abided by the declaration to allow room for peace to be restored.
