Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has declared that he will not be drunk with power or allow the associated advantages and benefits that come with holding a lofty position in government to change him.
The governor assured that he would remain committed to his vows made to Rivers people when he got their mandate, to completely put things in place that would transform the state.
Fubara made the remark when some leaders, elders and critical stakeholders of the state paid him a visit to celebrate his 50th birthday at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday morning.
The governor in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Nelson Chukwudi, explained that he had never subscribed to celebrating birthdays but seeing leaders of the state gather to celebrate him pulled out tears of joy from his eyes.
Fubara said: “I want to say that I will still be the Fubara that you know; power will not change me. I will still make sure that what I hold dear in life remains, which is God and my respect for people. I will continue to maintain it.
“Power will come, power will go, but I will still remain the Fubara that you know. With your support, that Rivers State that we all yearn for, we will definitely, even if we don’t get it completely, we will put those things in place that will channel and drive us to that Rivers State with your support.
