The Vicar of Saint Paul\u2019s Anglican Church, Opobo, Venerable Emmanuel Nwuju, has warned the political class not to take the quietness of the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, for granted as God usually fights for such people.
\nThe cleric also tasked the political class to be mindful of their actions in order not to jeopardise peace and development of the country, especially Rivers State.
\nNwuju gave the warning while speaking at the outing and thanksgiving service in honour of the late Mrs. Adeline Ndalu Jaja, the mother in-law of Governor Fubara, in Opobo, yesterday.
\nAccording to him, people should be careful of what they do or say about the governor\u2019s quietness especially now that he is an orphan as only God will fight for him.
\nThe Vicar urged the political class to always do the right thing no matter the situation, as it will be counted for them on the last day, saying Jesus did the right thing yet he paid with his life.
\n\u201cJesus paid for doing the right thing as a lamb. The quiet disposition of our governor is confusing. He is simple and quiet, but don\u2019t take that for granted. This is because such persons receive inspiration in quietness\u201d, he said.
\nThe clergy noted that in the days of Jesus, instead of the people to embrace him and walk in righteousness, they ganged up to antagonise and killed him together with criminals, but in a twist of fate, he was buried in a rich man\u2019s tomb and eventually rose in glory.
\nHe said same things happen these days, with those who benefit from corruption perpetuating it across sectors, and by extension, destroying the available quality of education, which is endangering the future of the youths.
\nHe, however, declared that those who focus on God would be emboldened to bring solution to the many woes bedeviling the country.
\nThe outing and thanksgiving was climaxed with a special prayer for the family by the Bishop of Niger Delta Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Oko-Jaja,
\nThe event was graced by traditional rulers, elders, leaders and stakeholders of the State including Fubara and his wife, Valerie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
