Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has pledged to provide exceptional leadership that prioritises the welfare of the people and assured that his administration would operate with the fear of God to make the people of Rivers State proud.
He made these remarks during a baby dedication service for the family of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wordu at the Royal House of Grace International Church in Rumueme Community, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, on Sunday.
He said: “For us, by the special grace of God, He has placed us, today, to watch over the affairs, not to control, but to watch over the affairs of this state. I am not controlling, but watching the affairs, and I will watch through the fear of God.
“I will watch, understanding that one day, I will leave and account for the way I had watched over the affairs of all of us.”
He added: “It’s when you are of the mind of controlling power, that you will become obsessed. But when you are watching, you know that one day, you will leave and another will take over.
“So, I will watch with the fear of God, and I will make every one of you proud. I will make a difference in leadership, and that difference will be to give everybody the opportunity to be free in this state.”
The governor, who donated N100 million to the church, expressed his gratitude to the church for its fervent prayers, attributing his administration’s strength and bold implementation of impactful policies to this spiritual support.
He further emphasised that these prayers have been instrumental in advancing the progress and growth of Rivers State.
“No man is more powerful than God. And even the heart of that wicked and heartless man or whatever you want to call it, is in the palm of God’s hand.
“It’s like water that God turns in directions He wants. So, it’s only God that will continue to help us. And I know that He will lead us to a successful end,” he said.
