The wife of Rivers State Governor, Valerie Siminalayi Fubara, has expressed delight over the gathering of women from the 23 local governments to pray for the success of the state government.
The governor’s wife stated that since God listens and answers the prayers of His people, “it was undeniable that the same God will address the challenges facing the government and good people of the state, and shame enemies of peace and progress of the state.”
Fubara, who stated this at the 2024 Rivers Women Converge programme in Port Harcourt, declared that their prayers had been answered because they are in the presence of God.
This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday by the Government House Press unit and sent to newsmen.
She said, “I don’t have much to say other than that I am excited. Whenever I come into the presence of the Lord, I am so happy. I am so glad, and I always dance. I love praising God. I cannot come here without dancing because I am in the presence of the Lord”.
While commending the convener of the programme for bringing women together, she pleaded with the women not to stop praying for the well-being of the state, because, according to her, prayers make things better and faster.
She said, “Let me specially thank the convener of this program, my sister. I call her my sister because she is a beloved for bringing women from Rivers State together from the 23 local government areas to praise God.
“Please, my women, I want to plead with each and everyone of us, we will not stop praying, we’ll continue to pray, prayer makes things better and faster,” she added.
The governor’s wife said she is not perturbed over the forthcoming October 5 Local Government elections because she is convinced that God is already working behind the scenes.
According to her, “God is already working behind the scenes. October 5 is the evidence that God is in charge. For me as a person, I am not moved. I don’t work by sight, I work by faith, and my faith has never failed me. God never fails”.
She urged the women, as mothers, to continue to pray for the peace, stability and progress of the state while at the same putting the government and its policies and programmes before God for guidance and direction.
