He mentioned, “I believe that what you consider trouble is not troublesome to me. I view it as God’s plan for a new direction for our State.”

From the very beginning, he has elevated us, which is why we’re growing stronger and more courageous each day instead of becoming weaker.

Our aim is to complete our work and leave behind a legacy of leading with reverence for God. Though we may not achieve perfection in all things, ultimately, there should be a compelling reason for the angels to protect us from being claimed by evil.

This is happening as Fubara faces a conflict with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Fubara and Wike have been clashing over the state’s political framework.
