Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, recently called upon traditional rulers to rise above partisanship and embrace their roles as unifiers in their communities. During a ceremony held in Government House, Port Harcourt, where he presented certificates of recognition and staff of office to two first-class traditional rulers, Fubara emphasized the importance of inclusivity and forgiveness.
Fubara urged the newly recognized monarchs to act as fathers to all subjects, regardless of past rivalries. “You should not use your privileged positions to victimize those who may not have supported your ascension to the throne,” he stated. The governor encouraged the royal fathers to foster harmonious relationships within their domains, promoting peaceful coexistence and development.
Emphasizing Peaceful Coexistence
During the ceremony, the governor highlighted that traditional rulers should work collaboratively with the State Government and various stakeholders to ensure stability and growth. He reminded them that their leadership roles should be about serving the people and enhancing community welfare. “Discard feelings of animosity and resist the inclination to undo anybody for whatever reason,” Fubara said. Instead, he urged them to embrace a spirit of forgiveness and inclusivity.
Fubara presented the certificates to His Majesty, King Marcus Oduma Woyike of Ikwerre Local Government Area, and His Majesty, King Ndamzi Nsirim of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area. He reiterated that their recognition by the government was a fulfillment of the traditional processes already in place, stating, “What we are doing here is just a fulfillment of what is already existing.”
Call for Good Governance
The governor underscored that the newly recognized monarchs should see their positions as opportunities to support good governance while protecting the interests of their communities. “As traditional rulers, your responsibility is to ensure peace and security in your domains,” he urged. He emphasized the need for fair and just leadership to better understand and meet the needs of their subjects.
In addressing the traditional rulers, Fubara stated, “It is an opportunity that God has created for you. It is not for you to use it to undo your people.” He urged them to be champions of unity and development, ensuring that their reigns are remembered for positive change.
Support for Traditional Rulers
The governor assured the traditional rulers of his administration’s support, reminding them that their new roles integrate them into the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers. He encouraged them to leverage their experiences to contribute meaningfully to the state’s peace and sustainable development.
The Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development, Engr Charles Amadi, opened the event by introducing the traditional rulers, noting their successful completion of the traditional selection and installation processes. He affirmed that they were worthy of government recognition and the associated honors.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
