The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, who was suspended by President Tinubu, has vowed to come back stronger stating that “as christian” what happened was for a purpose.

During his speech to the Muslim leaders from 20 Islamic-based groups, who paid him a visit at his Port Harcourt resident on Monday, the suspended Governor noted that he would come back stronger and urged his supporters to remain calm.

“This season is one of love, sharing, and sacrifice. You have come to share in our pain and have made a great sacrifice through your prayers.

“As Christians, we believe that everything happens for a purpose, and I strongly believe that this situation is leading us toward a greater purpose.

“We believe in egalitarianism, and if our beliefs bring us some pain, so be it. The most important thing is that we stand on the side of truth and righteousness.

“If God could be patient with Noah to allow even the snail to enter the Ark, then patience remains an essential virtue in our struggle,” he stated.

Encouraging his supporters to remain steadfast and wait patiently, Fubara said;

“Their goal is to create problems and deny people their means of livelihood. We will not allow that. We will continue to operate peacefully and respect constituted authority to ensure that our state remains a model for others in Nigeria.
