We are here to honour dedication and to commend determination.-Gov.SIm

A lot of you, I know, have been hearing one thing or the other, but what we are doing as a government is not different from what these heroes did for our country. Some persons, who have decided to be enemies of Rivers State, wanted us to have a black Christmas. But because we are determined to ensure that the interest of Rivers State is protected, we were able to meet our obligations as a government. Today, I can say boldly that our civil servants are happy. Even in the face of all their propaganda that our allocation fell inside one bridge, we are the first state not just making the promise but living up to that promise. Today, civil servants that were collecting 70,000 naira before are jubilating with over 140,000 naira. What else is the greatest joy any government can achieve? Yea, you might do some projects, but the most important thing is the happiness that you leave in the hearts of people. That is the truth. The most important thing is making sure that our Rivers people are put first in everything we do. So, let me thank everyone of you that has continued to support us. God doesn’t start and end halfway. We are determined to follow this journey, and we will follow it to the end where everyone will know that it is only GOD almighty that gives power. - His Excellency, Sir (Dr.) Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, Speaking at the Emblem Appeal Fund Launching Marking the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day
