We Are Determined To Achieve The Rivers Of Our Dreams—Gov. Fubara
...Tasks Rivers People To Join In Building A Peaceful, Harmonious State
Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, says his administration is determined to enthrone an enviable Rivers that satisfies the dreams and aspirations of all residents.
To achieve such a feat, Gov. Fubara charged all residents to embrace peace, exhibit mutual harmony, and meaningfully contribute their quota to achieve designated developmental activities that will eventually benefit the state.
Sir Fubara asserted at the funeral service in honour of the late King Theophilus J.T. Princewill, Amachree XI, the Amanyanabo and Natural Ruler of the Kalabari Kingdom, which was held at the King Amachree Square in Buguma Town, Asari Toru Local Government Area.
“We are in a difficult period, but just be peaceful. We cannot achieve progress in an environment of violence. We cannot grow our state to the level of our aspirations when there is trouble.”
“We can only advance to our dream state in a peaceful environment. I urge every one of you to be peaceful. Peace is the only instrument that can bring development.”

The governor further applauded the level of cooperation between the bereaved family and the entire Kalabari people through the various stages of preparation leading to the eventual burial of their late king, much to the disappointment of those who had predicted the crisis.
He urged the Kalabari people to continue to live in peace even after the burial of their late king, adding that nobody in the state should lose hope because his administration is committed not to disappoint regarding all their expectations.
In his sermon, the intercontinental Youth Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Belemina Obunge, who represented the General Overseer of the Church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, preached on the topic “Don’t wait until you’re late” and harped on the need for people to seek God fervently and serve him truthfully while also living peaceably with neighbours in their various communities.
