Suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared that he isn’t desperate to reclaim his position and return as governor.
According to him, he no longer feels connected to the governor’s office.
Fubara made statement at service of songs held for late elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
The event was organized by the Rivers Elders Forum on Sunday.
Responding to him being addressed at the gathering as “governor” and criticism of his suspension from office by speakers at the service of songs, Fubara distanced himself from their statements, labeling them their individual viewpoints.
He noted that such declarations were unlikely to foster harmony, adding that “not everything is about oshogbe.”

Fubara’s response indicated his preference for a strategic method rather than a confrontational approach during the current political turmoil.
“Do you even know if I wish to return? My spirit has already departed,” he remarked.
Fubara also cautioned that some actions taken by certain supporters, although well-meaning, had only exacerbated his predicament.
He requested the attendees to concentrate on honouring the late Chief Edwin Clark, who dedicated his life to advocating for the Niger Delta area, rather than turning the event into a political matter.
