Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has described the crisis in the state as an opportunity God used to take him higher.
Fubara and his predecessor and ‘godfather’, Nyesom Wike, who is the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has been embroiled in a fierce battle over the control of the political structure of the state.
The feud has torn the state in the middle, resulting in violence, killing and wanton destruction of properties.
However, speaking on Sunday during a thanksgiving service to celebrate the appointment of His Royal Majesty, Eze Chike Worlu Wodo, as the Chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council at the Shepard’s Hill Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, the governor said God allowed the crisis to carve a new direction for the state, adding that he is getting stronger daily, rather than getting weak.
“I also believe that what you are calling trouble is not trouble to me. I see it as God’s purpose for a new direction for our State,” Fubara said.
“He has taken us higher, right from the first day, which is why, rather than getting weak, we are getting stronger and bolder everyday.
“We want to finish our work, and our story will be those who led with the fear of God. We might not be perfect in everything, but in the end, there should be a reason why the angels should not allow our bodies to be taken by the devil.”
