Siminalayi Fubara

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has said that he decided to look weak for the sake of peace and survival. He recently had his say while dedicating his Man of the Year award to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Addressing the prolonged political tensions that have defined Rivers State’s governance landscape, Fubara stated that his approach has often been misunderstood.

Fubara added that Wike discovered him, and the discovery made him the man he is today.

His words, “Today for me is a very special day, and also special for everyone who has believed in me, and I know for believing in me, you have a share of special pain.

Some of these pains, some persons describe them as weakness, while others say it as being strong, but I choose for a lot of reasons to be weak. Weak, because I want peace.

Weak, because we need to survive. Weak, because I need to also protect those things that are dear, not just to me, but to our dear nation.

Weakness is a virtue. It pays at the right time.

To the wonderful people of Rivers State that have shown support, shown quietness, shown maturity that has brought us this far.

I do not care how you interpret it or misinterpret it, I also dedicate this award to somebody who also discovered me, not minding the situation, the Honourable Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike.

He discovered me, and it is the discovery that gave me this loudness.”

WOW.
