4 Professors, 2 SANs Unveil Book On FUBARAISM …Commend Rivers Gov’s Dev Strides

The Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has been commended for his developmental initiatives aimed at transforming the development needs of the state.

To this end, a group of academics, known as League of Niger Delta Researchers for sustainable development has unveiled a book christened “Fubaraism” to appreciate  his boldness to deliver the dividends of democracy in the state despite the godfatherism intrigue that disrupted governance in the state .

The group however stressed  that godfatherism can jeopardize development of the state and across country at in general.

“This is a groundbreaking research book titled ‘Fubaraism: The New Philosophy of Power Dynamics in Rivers State.’ This ongoing research project, undertaken by distinguished academics from various universities within the Niger Delta region and beyond, aims to fortify the fight against Godfatherism.”

This  book  authored by four  academic  professors and two Senior Advocates of Nigerian(SANs) which include Prof. Protus Nathan Uzorma; Prof. Francis C. Dike, SAN; Prof. Christopher Okereke; Prof. Preye Inikoba; Prof. John Ben; Barr. Ngozi Olieh, SAN; and Dr. Sunday Adiele.

Speaking at the unveiling of the book recently, Prof. Protus Nathan Uzorma, of the University of Uyo and the Director General of the group said they had conducted an extensive survey of public opinions and found that Governor Fubara’s approach, as encapsulated in the concept of Fubaraism, was yielding positive results.

“We believe that this innovative philosophy of power dynamics has significant implications for political philosophy in Nigeria.

“We commend Governor Fubara for his unwavering commitment to delivering democracy dividends to the people of Rivers State, despite various challenges. The book explores the risks involved in doing the right things and achieving better outcomes in the  State.”

He said that their research group, formerly known as the League of Niger Delta Researchers for Sustainable Development, had evolved into the Federation of Researchers for Sustainable Development in Nigeria.

According  to him, “this change in name has not altered our core function – serving as watchdogs for the society.”

He stressed  that they were confident that Fubaraism would revolutionize the way things were done in Nigeria, promoting a more equitable and just society for all.

“The publication of Fubaraism” is a significant milestone in the academic discourse on power dynamics in

Nigeria. The book’s innovative approach to analyzing power relationships and its introduction of the concept of ‘Fubaraism’ is likely to generate considerable interest and debate among scholars and policymakers.

“As a major contribution to the field of Political Science and Philosophy, ‘Fubaraism’ is poised to become a seminal work that will shape the discussion on power dynamics in Rivers State and beyond”.
