Siminalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, has expressed his willingness to make any sacrifice necessary for the success of the State.
Gatekeepers News reports that he mentioned that he is ready to give up his position if it means bringing peace to the region.
Fubara, during an interview with AIT on Thursday, added that his ability to exercise restraint, even when he has the power to act, is a sign of his maturity.
According to him, there were actions he could have taken that would have plunged the State into a total crisis, but he chose not to, for the good of the state.
In his words: “No sacrifice will be too big for me to pay for the success of this administration.
“And the reason is very simple, it’s not political love, it’s not because I want to gain any favour from anybody, my interest and love for our dear state is genuine.
I’m not trying to say I want to be one man who will be there to decide the fate of all but let Rivers State remain.
“My burden was not the issue of all the drama, it’s the millions of Rivers people who had made sacrifices and it looks as if their hopes are being dashed. They were the ones I was worried about. What will be their fate? It’s not about me.
“If leaving this position is what I need or what is needed to bring more peace to the state, I can even tell you people to come and take it. It’s not about me. People should understand that I will definitely go but Rivers State will still remain.
“I am the governor, no matter what it is, there are things I could have done and there would have been a total crisis. But your ability to restrain in the face of crisis even when you have the power to do things is maturity.”
