FUBARA SEEKS PRAYERS AS RIVERS LEADERSHIP ENTERS NEW PHASE
Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has urged citizens to intensify prayers for his administration as it begins a fresh chapter of leadership and governance.
Fubara made the appeal on Sunday during a thanksgiving service at St. John’s Anglican Church, Opobo town, in Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area.
The governor, accompanied by his wife, Lady Valerie, and other stakeholders joined worshippers as the church marked its 2025 Harvest of Divine Possibilities and Thanksgiving.
Addressing the congregation, Governor Fubara emphasised that leadership demands not only human effort but divine guidance, which can only be sustained through consistent prayers.
“We won’t have survived it without your prayers,” the governor said, likening the support he had received to deposits that yield interest in God’s time.
He explained that his decision to worship in Opobo was personal, describing the church as his spiritual home where he must return to give thanks before embarking on the next stage of service."When my story ends, it is this church that will lead me to my next set of journey."
Governor Fubara stated that true thanksgiving goes beyond physical monuments and is best expressed in sincerity and humility before God.
“This coming to worship here is necessary today,” he said, noting that the act was meant to be private but inevitably drew public attention because of his office.
The governor also acknowledged the sacrifices of fasting and intercession made on his behalf, insisting that those prayers had shielded him from shame and strengthened his resolve.
Governor Fubara called on Rivers people and Nigerians at large to continue supporting him with prayers, assuring that such spiritual backing was crucial to the success of his administration.
