Fubara Praises Rivers Workers for Staying Strong Despite Political Crisis
Suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has praised the hardworking spirit and professionalism of the state’s workers, even as the state continues to face political turbulence. In a statement released for Workers’ Day 2025, Fubara described the workforce as the true driving force behind Rivers’ growth and a symbol of hope for better days ahead.
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, the governor pointed out that this year’s Workers’ Day theme, “Ensuring Safety and Health at Work in a Changing Climate,” sheds light on the urgent need to protect workers as they navigate both environmental changes and political uncertainties.
He stressed that the health and safety of workers should be treated as a top priority if real development is to be achieved. Governor Fubara also acknowledged the Federal Government’s role—led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—in pushing forward labour reforms and adopting climate-aware policies that promote safer workplaces nationwide.
Despite the current political climate in Rivers State, Fubara applauded workers for their courage, dedication, and unshaken loyalty to their roles. He said their efforts continue to hold the state together during challenging times. He assured that his administration remains committed to ensuring that workers are treated fairly and that their rights are respected across all sectors.
Fubara called on employers to do right by their workers—not just by law, but by conscience—urging them to provide better working conditions that reflect human dignity. He wrapped up with a message of unity and hope, telling the people of Rivers State to stay strong, remain together, and believe in the power of justice and progress.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
