Title: Rivers Governor Sim Fubara Confident of Victory in Political Battle with Wike

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has expressed confidence in overcoming the political tussle with Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In a statement issued on Sunday, December 29, by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara attributed his anticipated victory to the overwhelming support of Rivers State residents and his faith in God.

“And not just because I want to accept it, I get stronger in this course every day when I look at the support I am getting from the true Rivers people,” Fubara stated.

He emphasized the role of the people in his political journey, acknowledging their contributions, encouragement, and dedication. Fubara added, “The ultimate game changer, the ultimate liberator, and the ultimate fighter still remains God Almighty. And because we have Him on our side, victory is assured.”

The Governor’s remarks come amidst an ongoing political standoff, as he seeks to solidify his position with the backing of the Rivers people.

Manchester City has reportedly identified Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina as a potential replacement for veteran defender Kyle Walker, according to The Sun.

Aina, 27, has been a standout performer for Forest in the Premier League this season, showcasing his versatility as both a right-back and left-back. He has contributed two goals in 19 league appearances, cementing his reputation as a reliable and adaptable defender.

Walker, now 34, is approaching the latter stages of his career, prompting City to begin their search for a long-term successor. Aina, a product of Chelsea’s football academy, could fit the bill for Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Nigerian international’s contract with Nottingham Forest expires in six months, making him a prime target for City, who might look to secure his services at a reduced fee in the upcoming transfer window.

Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, expressed deep sorrow over the passing of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, describing him as a leader whose life exemplified service, humility, and dedication to humanity.

Obi emphasized the profound impact Carter had not only on the United States but also on Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

Carter’s legacy in global health advocacy remains unmatched, particularly through The Carter Center’s work in eradicating diseases like Guinea worm and river blindness.

His efforts reached the most marginalized communities, providing hope where it was desperately needed.

In Nigeria, Carter’s initiatives were a beacon of hope for many.

His advocacy for sustainable development empowered local systems, providing tools and resources that continue to aid in the fight against poverty and disease.
