Governor Siminalayi Fubara of River State has insisted that he is not fighting with anybody and that his government is solely focused on delivering the dividends of democracy.
He made this known on Friday while flagging off 20,000 housing units for low-income earners in the state at Mbodo-Aluu in Ikwerre Local Government Area.
He vowed to continue doing what is right for the state and encouraged the citizens of the state to continue to participate actively in governance.
The governor went on to say his administration is not for “service to the elite but to the poor and low-income earners.”
Speaking during the ceremony, Fubara said: “For our people, I want to assure you, our government has nothing to do with fighting anybody.
“Our governance is to take care and defend our people. I can assure you here that this is the beginning of our service to the people of Rivers State.
“It is not service to the elite but to the poor and low-income earners. Those are the people we want to stand with and we are standing with them from today.”
The governor’s assurance comes amid the continued rift between him and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, who is his predecessor and political godfather.
Meanwhile, Governor Fubara seized the opportunity presented by the flag-off of the construction of 20,000 Housing units to launch his own live band.
The band which came alive shortly after the governor’s speech was heard singing, “Dey your day make I dey my dey, nobody worry nobody, ” to the excitement of the crowd.
Prior to this, live band was commonly associated with the FCT Minister.
