He said Governor Fubara was brought by God to take Rivers State to the promised land, stressing that since Governor Fubara came on board, pensioners have been receiving their pension and gratuity starting from their month of retirement.
“Since Governor Fubara assumed office, we have a new policy where retirees start earning their pension and gratuity starting from the month their services end. We have never had it like this before. It is a new dawn. It is a new season. We give glory to God for the good things He is using Governor Fubara to achieve in Rivers State. I urge you to continue to pray for him to enable him continue to deliver and take us to a new level”, he said.
