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.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
