Rivers crisis: I’m not an ingrate – Fubara

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State on Monday said he’s not
an ungrateful or bad person, despite claims against him in certain quarters

 

Fubara said he appreciates all those who have been
instrumental to him, adding that gratitude has compelled him not to throw
caution to the wind in handling the current political crisis bedevilling the
state.

 

He spoke while hosting stakeholders of Ikwerre ethnic
nationality at the state’s Government House in Port Harcourt.

 

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson
Chukwudi, Fubara said it would have been difficult for him to hide it if he
were ungrateful.

 

He said: “I want to also say this: Fubara is not an
ungrateful person. If I were a bad person, I can’t hide a character that is bad
for more than one week, two weeks, one month, one year, two years, eight years,
or even more than eight years. For 16 years, if I were a bad person, everybody
would have known.

 

“But, even your own child that is in your house that you
have given birth to, let us start with even the girl child. It gets to a stage
where your girl child will enter the bathroom and lock the door from behind.

 

“Even if they forcefully put a feeding bottle in my mouth,
if I get filled up, won’t I pull it out? So, when people stand outside and say
what they say, I want you people to ask them to tell you, in their own good
conscience, what is that bad thing, that wickedness, that ungratefulness that
this man (Fubara) has ever shown or done. But I leave that one to God, who will
judge everybody.”
