In a congratulatory statement issued on Tuesday and signed by its National Leader, High Chief Hon. Amb. Sobomabo Jackrich (Egberipapa), the movement described Governor Fubara’s administration as people-centred and impactful, anchored on the “Rivers People First” mantra.
According to the group, the governor’s leadership has delivered what it termed “unparalleled dividends of democracy” across critical sectors, including infrastructure, education, healthcare and agriculture, with visible projects spread across the state’s 23 local government areas.
“Your remarkable developmental footprint stands bold and transformative in all 23 local government areas, positively impacting the lives of every Rivers indigene and resident,” the statement said.
The Movement also praised Governor Fubara’s resilience in the face of political challenges, noting that despite what it described as “intense political rivalry orchestrated by enemies of the state,” the governor has remained focused on governance and service delivery.
“You have remained resolute and focused, a quality that marks you as a grounded public administrator and an astute public servant par excellence,” the group stated, adding that the governor has emerged as “an icon of hope and inspiration to Rivers people.”
