Dr. Peter Odili, ex-governor of Rivers state has openly confirmed Governor Simi Fubara’s leadership of the state.
The respected former Rivers governor made this assertion on Thursday during the commissioning of a Comprehensive Primary Health Centre in Ndoni, located in the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government area of the state.
The health facility was constructed and donated to the Rivers State government by the Pamo Educational Foundation (PEF), established by Odili and his family.
Odili remarkably affirmed: “Thanks for standing up to defend the interest of all Rivers people. We are proud of you. Politics is over; it is now time for governance. You have hit the ground running.
“Your government is aligning correctly with President Tinubu’s government, especially in the area of education agriculture and now health sector. Our people said I should tell you to stand with the President and align with his positive policies and link the people of Rivers State with the centre.
“They have asked me to tell you that you are the political leader of Rivers State. Rivers people say where you go, they will go with you; where you stand, they will stand with you. Don’t look back, stay focused, knowing that your people are behind you.”
Odili stated the reason behind his decision to initiate the construction of the health center by pointing that there had been no health facility in the Ndoni district for the past three years.
Governor Fubara, while commissioning the facility, commended Odili for embarking and completing such a project that will be of great benefit to the people of Ndoni community.
He said: “It is an honour to be part of this historic event. Dr. Peter Odili is a private man who has returned what God has done to him. He used his resources and not government’s resources to build such facility for his people of Ndoni.”
