"My Brother, Fubara,
There is a Yoruba adage that says: “Ẹni tí ó wọ bàtà ló mọ ibi tí ó ti ń pọ̀ ọ́” — the person wearing the shoe knows where it pinches.
I have walked a similar path before, so I understand your pains and struggles, and I will never judge you. During my time, I was called all sorts of unprintable names — weak man, “mumu man,” paper politician, woman wrapper — just as many call you today. Some people pushed me to fight back endlessly. They told me it was my time to “free Lagos.”
But leadership becomes difficult when a man is forced to battle from every corner. How can one truly concentrate on governance while constantly defending himself from distractions and political wars?
Like you, I tried to breathe. I tried to stay focused. But in the end, the godfather system prevailed.
Fubara, my brother, you have played your part, and posterity will speak for you someday. There will come a time when the people of Rivers State will look back, reflect deeply, and understand the sacrifices you made.
I believe in your efforts because I know that road too well. May God strengthen you, grant you peace, and reward your sacrifices for your people".
