Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has said that he runs a responsible government that gives opportunity to everyone living in the state to thrive within the limits of the law, adding that it is the only way to advance the state.
Governor Fubara stated this while receiving Stakeholders of Rivers State Council for Islamic Affairs on Sallah solidarity visit at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Monday.
The governor noted that his administration will continue to provide an environment for peaceful coexistence amongst different people and religions in the state to promote harmony and advance development.
Gov. Fubara promised to look into the issues concerning building a central worship centre, cemetery and a worship centre at the Rivers State University after proper investigation, stressing that his government will certainly support them in building a State worship centre.
Governor Fubara enjoined the people to ignore the criticism of his performance in one year, as what his administration has done within the short period speaks volumes including the recent social media rating of all first time governors in the country that placed the state quite high as number one.
Speaking earlier, the Rivers State Islamic Leader and Vice President General of Rivers State Council of Islamic Affairs, Alhaji (Amb). Nasir A. Uhor commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara for protecting the interest of the Muslim community in the state which has promoted religious harmony and mutual respect for all.
He assured the governor of the continued support of the Muslim community in the state, promising that none of its followers will be part of efforts to distract the governor in the state as they will continue to pray for the success of his government.
