The Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared that he is not an ungrateful person because he acknowledges and appreciates those who are instrumental to good gestures that had come his way.
Fubara’s declaration followed a comment by the former governor of the state, who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, describing him as an ‘ingrate’ for failing to acknowledge him.
The governor stated that it is due to such a well-breed lifestyle and personality that he had never contemplated throwing caution to the wind in handling the current political crisis in the state.
Fubara made the assertion when he hosted stakeholders of Ikwerre ethnic nationality, including the leadership of Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural Organisation Worldwide, the Supreme Council of Ikwerre Traditional Rulers, Ikwerre women, opinion and youth leaders at the Government House, Port Harcourt, yesterday.
The governor stated that if he were ungrateful, with bad character as canvassed in some quarters, it would have been difficult to hide it for too long from everybody.
He added: “Fubara is not an ungrateful person. If I were a bad person, you can’t hide a character that is bad for more than one week, two weeks, one month, one year, two years, eight years, even more than eight years. For 16 years, if I was a bad person, everybody would have known.
“But, even your own child that is in your house; let us start with even the girl child. It gets to a stage where your girl child will enter the bathroom and lock the door from behind.”
