Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State stated that the ongoing political tension in the state stems from competing interests over its resources.

On Sunday, Governor Fubara delivered a speech at the celebration of two significant events: the 18th anniversary of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) and the 51st birthday of its General Overseer, His Royal Majesty Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere. The event took place in Port Harcourt.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, as the well-being of the people here is our top priority. I am confident that with your support, we will stay focused and successfully fulfill our governance goals for Rivers State.
