Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has responded to allegations made by his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, stating that he will always stand for what is right, but won’t sacrifice his liver or kidney for loyalty.
“I belong to the school of thought that if I am the only person that needs to stand on that side of right, I will stand there. I don’t need anybody to stand with me. I cannot give my kidney or liver to anybody, I won’t. If that is the only reason for me to be loyal, I will not be. But, I will not do the wrong thing. I will stand for the side of right,” Fubara said.
He also denied allegations of being behind an attempt to bomb the venue of the grand civic reception by Rivers Ijaw People’s Council, RIVCO, saying, “I make bold to say it, there is no security agency in this State that I have called any day to go and do something wrong. I have never. I don’t have a need for it. But I know what they do, and they keep failing because God has left them.”
Fubara further highlighted some of the projects being executed by his administration, saying, “It is Fubara that signed the paper to borrow from Zenith Bank the N200billion for the construction of the Port Harcourt Ring Road.
“So, it is my project. It is Fubara that awarded the Trans-Kalabari Road that they couldn’t do. They did only a bridge from Krakrama, but I am the one doing it: the complete span, and it is N225billion. I didn’t borrow.”

Fubara emphasized that he remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), despite the ongoing crisis, saying, “As a matter of fact, I am a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but I know that there will be election that I am conducting. So, I have to invite you to come and receive prayers. And little did I know, the Bishop gave you the prayers.”_
