The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared that the real people with integrity and character are solidly standing with his administration.
Conversely, the governor stressed that some other persons who claim and arrogate integrity and character to themselves actually do not have any iota of such qualities.
According to his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara made the assertion while addressing residents at the country home of former Governor Peter Odili in Ndoni Town, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area shortly after inaugurating the Comprehensive Primary Health Centre in the community.
The health centre was built by the PAMO Educational Foundation founded by Dr Odili and donated to the state government for use by the people.
Fubara emphasised that it is more profitable for an individual to acknowledge what is right and refuse to yield to negative persuasions in order to remain true to it, stressing that Odili, is such a personality.
The governor said, “I’ve said it before, and I’m saying it again: it doesn’t matter the number of people that stand with you. Even if you’re standing alone, no matter the side you’re standing, provided you are standing on the right side, maintain your stand. And we are happy to stand with him (Odili).
“We are also happy that he is standing with us. Even his person alone is giving people high blood pressure. They are restless, granting all sorts of media interviews. Why are they doing it? It is because the people that matter, the people that have what they claimed they have; integrity, are with us. That is the truth.
“So, if we have one person who has integrity and character, is it not better than having 1,000 persons with questionable character? So, we are happy to identify with him.”
