Rivers NUJ congratulate Fubara on Supreme Court victory
The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Rivers Council, has congratulated Governor Siminalayi Fubara on his victory at the Supreme Court.
On Thursday, the Apex court affirmed Mr Fubara as the duly elected governor of Rivers.
In a statement jointly signed by its chairman and secretary, Job Stanley and Ike Wigodo, the council described the Supreme Court’s verdict as a confirmation of the people’s trust and mandate freely given to the governor.
The council appealed to Fubara to be magnanimous and see his victory as a birthday gift to him and the good people of Rivers.
The union noted that Fubara would mark his birthday for the first time as governor on Sunday, January 28.
It urged the governor not to be distracted by political opponents but to focus on delivering good governance to the people. It also advised the opponents to accept the Supreme Court’s judgment in good faith and join hands with him to move the state forward.
