Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, on Saturday paid a Christmas visit to his Rivers State counterpart, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, on Saturday, December 28, 2024.
The two governors, both members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), met in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital.
Governor Fubara, in a statement on social media platform X, expressed his delight at hosting Governor Diri.
He said, “Today, we welcomed Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State on a Christmas visit to Rivers State. It sure was a heartwarming moment of brotherhood based on our shared commitment to regional growth.”
In a related development, Governor Fubara had earlier expressed his gratitude to the people of Rivers State for their unwavering support in the course of the crisis.
Speaking during a Christmas Ballad hosted by former Governor Peter Odili, Fubara stated that he draws strength from the people and is committed to doing what is right.
He said, “And not just because I want to accept it, I get stronger in this course every day when I look at the support I am getting from the true Rivers people.
“So, it is not me being strong. My strength is drawn from every one of you that is here. You gave me the encouragement; you do the work for me; you make the calls for me. So, why won’t I stand up for you?
“But we also believe strongly that the ultimate game changer, the ultimate liberator, and the ultimate fighter still remains God Almighty. And because we have Him on our side, victory is assured.”
