Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged Rivers residents to remain resolute, amidst the challenges the state is passing through, saying they would be strengthened in the long run.

Gov. Fubara stated this on Monday, when he received Islamic-based groups, including the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, at his private residence in Port Harcourt during an Eid-el-Fitri visit.

The governor urged them and his supporters to trust in God’s process, saying: “this season is one of love, sharing, and sacrifice. You have come to share in our pain and have made a great sacrifice through your prayers.

“As Christians, we believe that everything happens for a purpose, and I strongly believe that this situation is leading us toward a greater purpose.”

He acknowledged that the current political tension might leave many feeling depressed, but emphasized that supernatural forces may be at play beyond human understanding.

“No matter what we see, we must remain steadfast. In all things, we give glory to Almighty God. I believe that, in the end, we will emerge stronger,” he added.

Gov. Fubara reaffirmed his commitment to justice and equality, stressing that his administration envisions a society where no one is oppressed.

“We believe in egalitarianism, and if our beliefs bring us some pain, so be it. The most important thing is that we stand on the side of truth and righteousness,” he stated.

He regretted that he was unable to formally reach out to the Muslim Ummah during their celebrations, but promised that the relationship between religious groups and the government would be strengthened once the current uncertainties are resolved.

Also, Gov. Fubara assured the Islamic leaders that their pending requests would be addressed after the crisis subsides.

Urging patience and perseverance, Gov. Fubara drew an analogy from religious history, saying “if God could be patient with Noah to allow even the snail to enter the ark, then patience remains an essential virtue in our struggle.”

He also cautioned against falling prey to those who want to engineer violence by fanning provocative acts, warning his supporters and Rivers people to avoid certain elements who sought to destabilize the state.

“Their goal is to create problems and deny people their means of livelihood. We will not allow that. We will continue to operate peacefully and respect constituted authority to ensure that our state remains a model for others in Nigeria,” he concluded.

Speaking earlier on behalf of the Muslim Ummah, Alhaji Nasir Awhelebe Uhor, declared their solidarity with Gov. Fubara, assuring him of their prayers and support as he navigates the state’s current political challenges.

Alhaji Uhor stated that the majority of Muslims in Rivers State stand with the governor, due to his inclusive approach to governance and his recognition of the Islamic faith.

He noted that unlike the previous administration that declared Rivers a 100 percent Christian state, Gov. Fubara, upon assuming office, acknowledged the state as Christian-majority, while allowing room for inclusiveness.

Encouraging the governor to remain steadfast, Uhor reminded him of the Islamic belief that Allah rewards patience.

He said the present challenges align with the teachings of Islam, where the Creator tests His people through wealth, power, and authority.

He further called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to review the emergency rule in Rivers State and restore Gov. Fubara’s full authority, emphasizing that the governor has been performing effectively despite the crisis.

Prayers were offered for Gov. Fubara, his family, Rivers State, and Nigeria as a whole.
