'I do not owe anybody apology' - Top PDP gov defends decision to send children to private school

Governor Siminialayi Fubara of Rivers State has defended his decision to send his children to a private school in the state capital, Port Harcourt.

As reported by Daily Trust, Fubara said he does not owe anybody an apology for enrolling his children in a private school.

Governor Fubara says he will not apologise for sending his children to private school.

The governor stated this on Wednesday, July 19, while speaking at the graduation ceremony of the 2023 Grade Six Class of Private Green Oak International School, Port Harcourt.

“As the only legacy you have is quality children, even if you have the whole houses in the world, have all the money, it amounts to nothing when you don’t have a worthy successor.

“What I owe them is the best and if the best is sending them to school that I believe in their skills, I do not owe anybody an apology for that. So, I thank you for what you’re doing. Don’t lower the bar.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, has been seen educating his successor, Siminalayi Fubara, on how to govern the state successfully.

Wike, who left the office, was seen in a viral video speaking at an event where he had been invited to lay down the foundation for the beginning of another infrastructural project in the state, extolling the humility of his successor, Fubara.

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has told the people of the state not to expect the incoming Governor, Siminialaye Fubara, to adopt his style in relating with them.

But the Governor insisted that with the support of the people, Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, would surpass his record of success.
