Fubara cautions residents against visiting Demarket Rivers to prevent self-blame

Rivers State citizens were forewarned by Governor Sim Fubara on Friday not to demarket their state.

Demarketing the state, according to Fubara, will scare away investors, thus inhabitants will be held responsible.

He was speaking to a group of Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) leaders and employees who had come to the Government House in Port Harcourt as part of a solidarity walk.

Fubara pledged that the social compact between his government and the people of Rivers would continue to be an unbroken link that guides governance, represented by Dr. George Nwaeke, Head of the Rivers State Civil Service.

“We will have ourselves to blame if we band together to demarket our state,” he declared. Remember that we are hurting our own future when we demarket Port Harcourt and Rivers State and all the wonderful individuals who want to come here and invest their money start to flee.

Do you want your children’s futures to be destroyed? This is the moment to rebuild. And someone who is skilled at setting the groundwork is here. The governor is establishing excellent groundwork. If you really observe what this governor is doing, you will see that he is busy building the groundwork for future benefits to all of us.

He is a statesman, not the kind of politician who only has the next election on their mind. He is not opposing those who ostensibly did not support or vote for him.

“He has the next generation in mind.” The next generation is the one who will independently declare, “We will stand up for this man who has secured our future when we never knew it.”

“Take a look at the Rivers Transport Company, which was closed but is now back in operation. Will the employees’ kids think that was a joke? Such individuals, won’t they be a part of the electoral power supporting the governor?
