Wife of Rivers State Governor, Lady Valerie Siminalayi Fubara, has expressed delight over the gathering of women from the 23 local government areas of the state to pray for the success of the state government.
The Governor’s wife stated that since God listens and answers the prayers of His people, it was undeniable that the same God would address the challenges facing the government and good people of the State, and shame enemies of peace and progress of the State.
Lady Fubara, who stated this at the 2024 Rivers Women Converge programme in Port Harcourt on Thursday declared that their prayers had been answered because they are in the presence of God.
She said, “I don’t have much to say other than that I am excited. Whenever I come into the presence of the Lord, I am so happy. I am so glad, and I always dance. I love praising God. I cannot come here without dancing because I am in the presence of the Lord”.
Lady Fubara, while commending the convener of the programme for bringing women together, pleaded with the women not to stop praying for the well-being of the State, because, according to her, prayers make things better and faster.
She said, “Let me specially thank the convener of this program, my sister. I call her my sister because she is a beloved for bringing women from Rivers State together from the 23 local government areas to praise God.

“Please, my women, I want to plead with each and everyone of us, we will not stop praying, we’ll continue to pray, prayer makes things better and faster”, she added.
Lady Fubara said she was not perturbed over the forthcoming October 5 Local Government Elections because she was convinced that God was already working behind the scenes.
She noted, “God is already working behind the scenes. October 5 is the evidence that God is in charge. For me as a person, I am not moved. I don’t work by sight, I work by faith, and my faith has never failed me. God never fails”.
She urged the women, as mothers, to continue to pray for the peace, stability and progress of the State while at the same time putting the government and its policies and programmes before God for guidance and direction.
