Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Governor of Rivers State Peter Odili has endorsed Governor Siminalayi Fubara as the political leader of the state.<\/p>\n

The former governor also praised the governor for defending the interests of the people.<\/p>\n

Odili, who ruled Rivers State between 1999 and 2007 said that Fubara has attained the position of leadership having \u201csecured his electoral victory both through the ballot and the courts.\u201d<\/p>\n

He spoke on Thursday at the commissioning of a Primary Healthcare Centre donated by his PAMO Foundation in Ndoni.<\/p>\n

The ex-Governor warned that \u201cif Rivers State sneezes, the entire Nigeria would catch cold,\u201d urging Fubara \u201cto act with this awareness in all your decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, Fubara has made significant strides in critical sectors within his first year in office.<\/p>\n

Odili encouraged the governor to maintain this alignment with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his policies to attract federal government attention and support to the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for standing up to defend the interest of all Rivers people. We are proud of you. Politics is over; it is now time for governance. You have hit the ground running,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour government is aligning correctly with President Tinubu\u2019s government, especially in the area of education agriculture and now health sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur people said I should tell you to stand with the president and align with his positive policies and link the people of Rivers State with the centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have asked me to tell you that you are the political leader of Rivers State. Rivers people say where you go, they will go with you; where you stand, they will stand with you. Don\u2019t look back, stay focused, knowing that your people are behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n
