The suspended governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has stated that he is not desperate to return to office.
Fubara made this declaration during a service of songs held in honor of the late elder statesman, Edwin Clark, in Port Harcourt, organized by the Rivers Elders Forum on Sunday. His remarks followed a series of comments from speakers at the event who referred to him as “Governor” and criticized his suspension, calling for an immediate reversal.
However, Fubara distanced himself from these remarks, labeling them as personal opinions.
“Not everything is by oshogbe,” he cautioned, suggesting a preference for a more strategic and less confrontational approach to the ongoing political crisis. “Do you even know if I want to go back there? My spirit has already left there,” he added.
He further warned that some actions taken by his supporters, although well-intended, have only exacerbated his situation.
Fubara urged attendees to focus on honoring Edwin Clark, who dedicated his life to advocating for the Niger Delta region, rather than making the event a political battleground.
