Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared that he is ready to face the consequences of his actions as the dust seems to settle on the political crisis rocking the state.

The governor’s declaration came even as Martin Amaewhule-led State House of Assembly, smarting from last weekend’s Supreme Court judgement, gave him 48 hours to present the 2025 budget to the lawmakers.

Fubara spoke during the inauguration of the residential quarters for Government House staff in Port Harcourt said the worst thing that can happen to him is to leave the position of governor.

According to him anytime his administration wanted to achieve stability, an obstacle always arose to bring the state to ground zero.

While applauding the people for supporting his administration, amid the political crisis in the state, the governor said: “No matter how we have been fooled in this state, it has got to the point where the people of the state have decided to take their destinies in their hands.

“In as much as I don’t subscribe to violence, when the time comes for us to make a decision, I will lead the course for that decision.

“I’m not scared of anything; the worst that can happen is for me to leave office. Am I leaving the earth? Will it stop me from existing? I’m not bothered about that. The right thing must be done and said when the opportunity is given to us.

“I assure you that I will lead you with honour, I will lead you with respect, and I will lead you with integrity, knowing that when I leave here, I will have questions to answer if I am called upon 20-30 years from today.

‘’I want to be proud to defend my position. So, I thank you and assure you that I will not disappoint you.”

Bu before addressing the crowd, Fubara had opened his speech with a passage from the Holy Bible, Philippians 3:18-19, emphasizing faith and resilience in the face of challenges.

“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. Despite everything, victory is sure,” he declared.
