Fubara’s S’Court Victory Validates Mandate Given By Rivers People -LG Boss
The Chairman of Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area of Rivers State, Dr. Enyiada CookeyGam, has expressed excitement over the Supreme Court affirmation of Governor Siminalayi Fubara as the authentic winner of the March 18, 2023, governorship poll.
Speaking with journalists recently in Port Harcourt, CookeyGam said that the Court’s dismissal of Tonye Cole’s claims has finally laid to rest all the political crisis from the overbearing posture of Fubara’s predecessor and estranged political godfather, Nyesom Wike.
“We are grateful to God for the verdict which confirms God’s supremacy. Now that the battle is over, all hands must be on deck to support the Governor as to move the state forward as far as the development of the people is concerned”, he said.
CookeyGam further commended the apex court for giving the verdict which serves as good omen in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Rivers people in general.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of Council applauded Governor Fubara’s approach to inclusive governance and for administering the State beyond partisan politics.
He said, “We are very happy that the Supreme Court has given a just and fair verdict in line with the outcome of the March 18, 2023 gubernatorial election in Rivers State. Opposition candidates should give peace a chance and deeply accept the verdict in good faith.
“We are lucky to have a Governor like Sir Siminalayi Fubara, who is Godly and has the interest of the people and the State above all other interests in his heart.
“Right from when he was chosen as the PDP flag bearer and presented to Rivers people, it was obvious that he was the rightful choice, and today that has been confirmed”.
CookeyGam further said,“Indigenes of my LGA and residents alike will continue to give our total cooperation and support to the Governor Siminalayi Fubara-led administration so that he can effectively implement the consolidation agenda programme and bring dividends of democracy to the people”.
He maintained that, “Every component of the Consolidation Agenda has been kicked off, and its impact is being felt across the State. All that is needed now is to ensure total support, solidarity and prayers for the success of our dear Governor and his good plans for the development of Rivers State”.
He added that “Opobo/Nkoro people are solidly behind his good governance for fruitful Rivers State of our dream”.
