What you call trouble is blessing to me, Rivers people – Fubara

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has said that what was meant and plotted against him as trouble, has rather turned to be a blessing to him and to Rivers State.

Governor Fubara stated this at a Church in Port Harcourt on Sunday, adding: “I see it as God’s purpose for a new direction for our State.

“He has taken us higher, right from the first day, which is why, rather than getting weak, we are getting stronger and bolder every day.

“We want to finish our work, and our story will be the story of those who led with the fear of God. We might not be perfect in everything, but at the end, there should be a reason why the angels should not allow our bodies to be taken by the devil.”

Governor Fubara made the statement at a Thanksgiving Service in honour of a monarch, Chike Worlu Wodo, the Eze Oha Apara IV, to mark his appointment as the Chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers’ Council (RSTRC).

He said that God had allowed the antagonising political crisis in the State to perfect His purpose in taking the State to a new direction of political emancipation, economic growth and development.

The governor said it was because God was fully involved that what people thought would have overwhelmed him and his team had rather turned to energizing factor.

The service held at the Shepard’s Hill Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) at Mgbuoba Community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area where Governor Fubara donated N100m to the Church and was given copies of the Holy Bible by the leadership of the parish.

Governor Fubara spoke about sticking on to the fear of God and pointed to the importance of thanksgiving to God, which he said, brought assurance of God’s abiding presence.

The governor particularly expressed delight to have joined with the family of the royal father to present their thanksgiving to God, as according to him, it aligns with the commitment of his administration.
