Contrary to claims by the former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, that he made Siminalayi Fubara governor of the state, the Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has declared that power only comes from the supreme being, God.
Otti made the declaration on Tuesday while inaugurating a
project executed by Governor Fubara in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers
State.
The Abia governor expressed confidence that despite the
political crisis rocking Rivers State, the people of the state are assured of
getting the dividend of democracy, stressing that Fubara came prepared.
He said, “Power belongs to God, no human can arrogate to himself the capacity to give power, except you have the capacity to give life. Of course, you can take life, but you cannot give it.
“For me, it’s all about good governance. Governor Fubara
came prepared, and I don’t believe that any distraction is enough to take his
focus away from improving the welfare and interest of the people.
“So, I can assure you, Rivers people, that the dividends of
democracy that you are seeing now is still a dress rehearsal. It is early in
the morning, and I am sure that in the near future, you will be seeing more.”
Governor Fubara, who vowed to probe the immediate past
administration, expressed worries over the debt burden he inherited from his
predecessor, Wike.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony, Fubara lamented
that the contractors who handled projects commissioned by Wike, “are still
coming for their balance payments running into millions and billions.”
