Governor of Rivers State, Similayi Fubara, has vowed to remain himself even as he turns 50.
Fubara told leaders from his state that he would not allow power get into his head though he is highly placed.
The Governor said, “I want to say that I will still be the Fubara that you know; power will not change me. I will still make sure that what I hold dear in life remains, which is God and my respect for people. I will continue to maintain it.
“Power will come, power will go, but I will still remain the Fubara that you know. With your support, that Rivers State that we all yearn for, we will definitely, even if we don’t get it completely, we will put those things in place that will channel and drive us to that Rivers State with your support.”
He added, “That is the only thing that I know I can assure you. I will not do anything or act in any manner that will bring disgrace to myself or to every one of you who have decided and are ready to sacrifice everything for us.
“This morning is a birthday morning. It is not a morning to discuss politics. It is a morning to say I am happy, I am 50 years, according to you. But the most important thing is that I am celebrating my Golden Jubilee. It means that I have joined the league of the old men from today.”
Governor Fubara, on behalf of his wife, Lady Valerie and family, expressed gratitude to God for divine grace and thanked all the leaders who made sacrifices to be in attendance so early to wish him well.
