Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has stated that those causing crisis in the state lacked integrity, and that the real people with integrity and character, were standing with his administration.
The governor emphasised that, in life, it was more profitable for an individual to acknowledge what was right, and refuse to yield to negative persuasions in order to remain true to it.
He stressed that people, who claim and arrogate integrity and character to themselves, actually did not have any iota of such qualities, stressing that the former governor of the state, Dr. Peter Odili, was a prominent personality with enviable character.
Fubara spoke weekend while addressing the people at Ndoni Town, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area shortly after inaugurating the Comprehensive Primary Health Centre in the community, donated by PAMO Educational Foundation, founded by Dr Odili.
The health center was donated by Odili to the state government for use by the people.
Governor Fubara, who expressed delight over the invitation to be part of the event, thanked God for the gift of life, and and appreciated Ndoni people for supporting their own, who had attracted far reaching recognition to them.
“I’ve said it before, and I’m saying it again: it doesn’t matter the number of people that stand with you. Even if you’re standing alone, no matter the side you’re standing, provided you are standing on the right side, maintain your stand. And we are happy to stand with him (Odili).
“We are also happy that he is standing with us. Even his person alone is giving people high blood pressure. They are restless, granting all sorts of media interviews. Why are they doing it? It is because the people that matter, the people that have what they claimed they have; integrity, are with us. That is the truth.
“So, if we have one person who has integrity and character, is it not better than having 1,000 persons with questionable character? So, we are happy to identify with him.”
Fubara restated his promise of making sure that everything needed to make the health centre function maximally would be supplied to further support the people of Ndoni.
