Inaugurates Ogbakiri road Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has called on his supporters to channel their political backing toward the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing the task as a collective responsibility ahead of the next general election.The governor made the appeal on Thursday, December 18, 2025, while inaugurating the Ogbakiri Roundabout–Ogbakiri Waterfront Road in Emohua Local Government Area of the state.Governor Fubara disclosed that he recently held a strategic meeting with the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during which he assured party leaders of the organic and growing support for President Tinubu among the people of Rivers State.Describing Tinubu’s re-election bid as a major assignment, the governor said he had already commenced grassroots mobilisation, noting that the large turnout of residents at the commissioning ceremony was a clear indication of progress. According to him, the enthusiasm displayed showed that about 70 per cent of the mobilisation work had already been achieved in the local government area.“We know you are hardworking and that you enjoy organic support. What we need now is to transfer this support to the success of our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Fubara said. “I assured the party leadership not to worry, because what truly matters is having the right foot soldiers on ground.”Turning to the commissioned project, the governor described the Ogbakiri road as a landmark achievement, recalling that it was initiated at one of the most challenging moments of his administration. He revealed that the first payment for the project was made at a time when the state was under a court order restricting access to federal allocations.Despite the difficulties, Fubara said his administration chose to keep faith with the people, trusting that “God would always make a way,” adding that the completed road stands as evidence of his government’s commitment to service delivery and promise-keeping.He also acknowledged requests presented by the Council of Chiefs, including the construction of internal roads and a proposed bridge to improve transportation, security and commercial activities. The governor assured that the proposals would be studied and addressed after proper cost assessment.Commending the host community, Fubara noted that peace and cooperation played a critical role in the successful execution of the project. He remarked that Ogbakiri, once associated with frequent crises and loss of lives, has now embraced peace, paving the way for development.The governor emphasised that peace remains the foundation for sustainable development across Rivers State and urged residents to protect public institutions such as universities and other government facilities, stressing that they exist for the benefit of the people.Providing technical details, the Permanent Secretary, Rivers State Ministry of Works, Dr Austin Ezekiel-Hart, said the road project, awarded in September 2024, spans 9.7 kilometres with a width of 7.3 metres. He added that it includes solar-powered streetlights, 4.5 kilometres of reinforced concrete drainage, and reinforced concrete culverts at strategic points.In his remarks, the Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, Dr Chidi Lloyd, applauded Governor Fubara for delivering on his promise, describing the road as a major boost to mobility, economic activities and overall development in the area.
