Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has declared his readiness to take decisive action when the need arises, emphasizing his fearlessness in the face of mounting political challenges.

In a statement that has sparked widespread discussion, the governor asserted, “Inasmuch as I don’t subscribe to violence, when the time comes for us to make a decision, I will lead the course for that decision. I’m not scared of anything; the worst that can happen is me to leave the office.”

Governor Fubara’s remarks come at a time of heightened political friction in Rivers State, with analysts suggesting that the statement may hint at looming confrontations within the state’s leadership or broader governance issues.

Inasmuch as I don’t subscribe to violence, when the time comes for us to make a decision, I will lead the course for that decision. I’m not scared of anything; the worst that can happen is me to leave the office

While he distanced himself from advocating violence, his resolve to steer the state through critical choices underscored a determination to maintain control amid uncertainty.

The governor did not specify the nature of the decision or the circumstances prompting his comments, leaving room for speculation among political observers. Some interpret his words as a response to ongoing disputes with local stakeholders or opposition factions, while others see it as a broader pledge to assert authority in turbulent times.

Fubara, who assumed office with a promise to prioritize peace and development in Rivers State, has faced numerous challenges, including economic pressures and political rivalries. His latest statement reflects a leader bracing for tough choices while projecting confidence in his administration’s direction.

I’m not scared of anything

“I’m not scared of anything,” Fubara reiterated, signaling that he is prepared to weather any storm—political or otherwise. The remark about potentially leaving office has also raised eyebrows, with some questioning whether it hints at resignation as a last resort or simply an acknowledgment of the stakes involved.

Political analysts in Port Harcourt have described the governor’s comments as a bold move to rally support and assert leadership at a critical juncture. “Governor Fubara is sending a message that he won’t shy away from hard decisions, even if they come with personal or political costs,” said Dr. Amaka Okoro, a political commentator based in the state capital.
