,..Babylonians you see today, you will see no more Fubara
Rivers state governor, Siminialayi Fubara, on Sunday, September 29, lambasted the camp of his predecessor and minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The governor, who reacted to a similar political diatribes thrown to his camp on Saturday by Wike during an event organized by the Rivers Ijaw Peoples Congress (RIPCO), said he would not give his kidneys to remain a governor of the state.
He made the statement during the states interdenominational service to mark the 64th Anniversary of the Nigerias independence.
Fubara said: I cannot give my kidney or my liver to anybody, I wont. If that is the only reason for me to be loyal, I will not be. But I will not do the wrong thing. I will stand on the side of right.
I will not mortgage my kidney or my liver, so dont worry about that, because I know that that is what they want and because of that they cant talk. If you have to take my kidney then I will honourably return to my wife so that we manage ourselves, but I wont give my kidney.
Fubara said Wikes camp was frustrated and told the congregation comprising various stakeholders that the Babylonians they see today, they will see no more.
The governor rejected the apology tendered on his behalf to Wike by RIPCO insisting that it was uncalled for and that nobody had the right to apologize for him.
He said his enemy camp was frustrated because they never believed that he would steer the affairs of the state till this point.
The governor maintained that Rivers belonged to everybody and was nobodys personal enterprise, adding that only noisemakers would introduce themselves to announce their presence.
He said: You see anybody that is making noise for recognition is a sign that you have lost it.
He said: When you make noise, let me tell you for those people who have cars, when you get to your house there is a way you hunk your horn, your children will know you are back. If you even dont have a car, there is a way you walk, and the children will also say that is daddys footsteps. But if you have to enter your house and announce, dont you know I am your daddy, then there is a problem.
By the special grace of God, I dont need introduction, I have the name and I am the one standing here. So, please I will beg everyone of you, God has given us this opportunity we must safeguard it.
They are the one looking for a way to destroy it. They dont believe that we will get to this point and I can tell you, I had a reason for inviting candidates for the next local government elections to this service.
As a matter of fact, you know I am a member of PDP, and I know that there will be election that I am conducting, so I have to invite you to come and receive prayers. And little did I know the Bishops gave you the prayers.
The frustration you are seeing before their faces today is this point we have gotten to. So, please be strong, that Babylonians that we are seeing today, we shall see them no more.
Fubara said God had given the evil ones an opportunity to stay for a long time to give them room for repentance but that since they failed to change, God would come heavily on them.
He said: God has a reason for allowing the devil or the evil one to stay long, it is not that he cant take them away, but He gives them time to repent. And when they continue, He will come heavily on them and they will say it would have been better that I leave when I had to, that will be our story in this State.
So, dont be scared of anything, we have gone past the most difficult state. A few of our decisions might not be favourable, but we had to move on as a family because at this time what is important is to protect the soul of this state.
It doesnt not belong to anyone. Rivers State is nobodys enterprise. So, you have to stand strong, this celebration today is for a purpose. It coincided with what happened last year. So, I assure of our support to make all the plans come to reality.
We will get there. We are already there. God does not start and stops halfway, He takes you to the end. And it is because they have seen the end that is why some of them will go and call my name and some will stand and say they are apologizing for me.
Look let me tell you, nobody can apologize for me. As a matter of fact, I belong to that school of thought that says if I am the only person that needs to stand on the side of truth, I will stand there. I dont need anybody to stand with me
There is no security agencies in this State that I have called any day to go and do something wrong. I have never, I dont have any need for it., but I know what they do and they keep failing because God has left them.
Please I want everyone of you to join hands with us. We have a big task ahead of us. We have taken the soul of our state, we must secure it, we must bring this State back to where it used to be.
Fubara said he would not oppress anybody in line with the letters of the countrys new national anthem and that he would not allow anybody to oppress him.
