In a world where political achievements are often accompanied by grand announcements and media spectacles, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara is charting a different course—one defined by quiet but impactful governance.
Over the weekend, during a church service, a striking testimony emerged from Rev. Pius Kii, a Catholic priest who had once served in Etche. Years ago, he recalled, the roads in the area were in a terrible state, making movement difficult for residents. But when he returned a few weeks ago for a burial, he was met with a surprising transformation as the roads had been completely reconstructed. No fanfare, no loud declarations; just results.
The Reverend Father shared yet another encounter. Recently, he was in Bori, the capital of Khana Local Government Area and was amazed at the extensive road reconstruction that had taken place across the town. The internal roads, which were once riddled with potholes and neglect, had been given reconstructed. His amazement didn’t end there. He took his time to drive around the town, only to discover that the long-awaited Zonal Hospital Bori was finally ready for use—a major boost for healthcare in that senatorial district.
Rev. Kii was full of praise for Governor Fubara, emphasizing how Rivers people are experiencing the true dividends of democracy in a short period under his leadership. From infrastructure, education, human capacity to healthcare, the governor’s commitment to development is evident, even without the usual political noise.
Indeed, Rivers State is witnessing a remarkable shift under Governor Siminalayi Fubara. His approach is clear: less talk, more action. While others focus on rhetoric, he focuses on results. His leadership is touching every sector, and the people are feeling the impact.
For many, the excitement is not just about the projects but about the style of governance, one that prioritizes substance over showmanship. As the Rev. Father aptly put it, Rivers State is rejoicing because “a righteous leader is on the throne.”
