Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara said on Thursday that his enemies cannot sleep well again after they failed to achieve their plans.
Fubara stated this while addressing members of the Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Worldwide who embarked on a solidarity walk to the Government House in Port Harcourt in commemoration of the 56th anniversary of the late Maj. Isaac Boro.
Five Rivers State commissioners loyal to Fubara’s predecessor Nyesom Wike recently resigned over the cold war between Fubara and Wike.
While thanking the IYC members, the governor encouraged the Ijaw nation to participate in celebrating what he described as the liberation of the state.
He said, “Because he (Boro) stood for that unique thing, even after his death, we still celebrate him because he was a liberator.
“Every Rivers man, it doesn’t matter whether you are Ijaw or upland. The most important thing is that every genuine Rivers man must be a liberator.
“I’m happy that you have come here today. I have also received you because we have one common purpose: to liberate our dear state. We are not going back on that.
“I am happy that you’ve told me this morning that when I call on you, you will respond. But there is nothing to call on you for because we have already defeated them.
“By the special grace of God, what they thought that they would have done to us while we were celebrating our one year in office, they are the ones sleeping with their two eyes open. It shows that we have the Ijaw blood. What is that blood? It is the blood of action; less talk, more action.”
