...Thanks God for benevolence towards the State 

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara on Sunday made his first public outing after resuming office, attended St. Paul\'s Anglican Church, Opobo, for the 2025 Polo Harvest Thanksgiving service. 

The governor who was accompanied by his wife and some friends appealed to Rivers people to hold peace as a key symbol of unity and development for the State.

He emphasised that \"the greatest thing anybody can wish for in life is peace\" stressing that peace in the community brings development to the people.

According to him, “Peace with yourself is good health and the most important thing. So, I key into this special International Day of Peace to urge everyone to make sure that they hold peace as a symbol of unity and development for our dear State.”

The governor noted that though he wanted to quietly attend the church service to glorify God for His benevolence towards him, his family and the State, as his home church and not necessarily for a big thanksgiving but promised to return at a later date for such Thanksgiving.

He specifically thanked the church and the people for their steadfast prayer for him, his family and the State.

The governor who was accompanied to the service by Amaopusenibo Fubara Hart, Chief Oris Onyiri, Chief Damiete Miller, Hon. Theodore Georgewill and Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie, was later prayed for by the church.
