Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State on Saturday said that he is still serving as a governor of the state after the six-month emergency rule period because of the “special favour” of President Bola Tinubu.
Fubara made the remarks at the combined 37th and 38th convocation ceremony of the Rivers State University (RSU), Nkpolu-Oroworukwu, Port Harcourt, where he reiterated his administration’s commitment to fully funding the institution and supporting its staff and students.
Addressing concerns raised by the university management, the governor said the challenges were a consequence of the political instability that affected the state earlier in his administration, PUNCH reports.
“Like you said, a report was given to us. But you all know what happened in the life of our administration,” Fubara said.
“It is only by the special favour from Mr President, that we are standing here still as the ones presiding over the affairs of Rivers State.”
He assured stakeholders that his government had resumed full administrative responsibility and would address all issues presented during the ceremony.
