Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara attended his first Sunday church service since his reinstatement as governor, calling for steadfast prayers as his administration begins anew.
Accompanied by his wife, Valerie, and various stakeholders, Governor Fubara visited the Saint Paul’s Anglican Church in his hometown of Opobo, where he expressed gratitude to God for His faithfulness to his family, the state, and the nation.
Although the church was celebrating its 2025 Harvest of Divine Possibilities, Governor Fubara explained that his own mission was a quiet visit to offer thanks to God for His faithfulness to his family, the state, and the nation.
Fubara also noted that nothing could equal God’s goodness other than a quiet and pure-hearted worship.
The governor further appreciated the prayers of the church, which he believed sustained his family and administration during challenging times, averting and bringing divine intervention.
According to him, such prayers averted shame and brought divine intervention.
He urged the congregation not to relent, assuring them that their continued intercession is needed as he starts afresh.
On the International Day of Peace, Governor Fubara reminded the people of the need to remain peaceful.
Governor Fubara was reinstated after a six-month state of emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu due to a political crisis in the state.
The crisis was sparked by a disagreement between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, over control of state structures and resources, leading to impeachment moves, protests, and violence.
President Bola Tinubu intervened by declaring a state of emergency, which was later lifted, restoring democratic order in the state.
A special prayer was led by the Church’s Vicar, Venerable Emmanuel Nwuju, for the First Family.
