In a post on his known Facebook page recently, Gbara asserted that Governor Fubara will “produce a successor in 2031”.
The Rivers environment commissioner lambasted Fubara’s adversaries, saying they “mistook” the governor’s humility for weakness.
He wrote:
“They thought that they will (sic) kick you out of office in three weeks, just as Russia thought of Ukraine.
“Their nemesis today was undermining and underrating you, but your demeanour and disposition for peace despite their provocative antics in the interest of the state, is a rare leadership virtue, which you have demonstrated all along.”
Continuing, Gbara paid tribute to Governor Fubara, saying he has learnt a lot working with him.
He added:
“This is why I know that in the face of all these, you will come out victorious because you are a man of grace and the gods of the land are happy with you.
“No man can play God. You will complete your eight-year tenure with ease and produce a successor in 2031.
“We the SIMplified movement in Khana LGA and the state in general, are solidly behind you come rain come shine. We move!”
