Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has expressed confidence that he will emerge victorious in the political battle happening between himself and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Fubara made this known at the Christmas Ballad hosted by a former governor of the state, Peter Odili, in Port Harcourt.

The Rivers Governor, who has been at loggerheads with Wike since he assumed office, stated that he believes his victory is a result of the support he receives from the true Rivers people.

Fubara said, “And not just because I want to accept it; I get stronger in this course every day when I look at the support I am getting from the true Rivers people.

“So, it is not me being strong. My strength is drawn from every one of you who is here. You gave me encouragement; you did the work for me; you made the calls for me. So, why won’t I stand up for you?

“But we also believe strongly that the ultimate game changer, the ultimate liberator, and the ultimate fighter still remain God Almighty. And because we have Him on our side, victory is assured.”
