Evaluating Gov Fubara One Year in Office and The Previous Administration Of Nyesome Wike

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has completed his first year in office, marking the occasion with assertions of achievements surpassing those of his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who served for eight years. Fubara has highlighted his administration’s success in service and project delivery, particularly in infrastructure, within this short period. He has claimed to have outperformed Wike’s administration in just one year, especially in the execution of projects.

Fubara made these remarks during the inauguration of the Andoni section of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo Unity Road project, in Andoni Local Government Area. He expressed his satisfaction with the progress made within the first three months of his administration, despite the challenges and the political crisis that has engulfed the state. Fubara has pledged to continue his efforts in the next six months to bring more significant changes to Rivers State.

The governor also plans to set up a judicial panel of inquiry to investigate the activities of the state government during Wike’s tenure. This move is seen as a direct response to the ongoing political crisis between Fubara and Wike, which has led to a split in the state House of Assembly and a series of impeachment attempts.

The Civil Society Situation Room on Matters of Governance in Nigeria has commended Governor Fubara for his people-oriented reforms and policies, noting that he has made significant strides in improving the lives of Rivers State citizens. They praised his dedication to good governance, transparency, and accountability.

However, the political crisis in Rivers State continues to deepen, with both Fubara and Wike exchanging barbs. Wike has expressed regret for his role in Fubara’s election and has vowed to correct his mistake at the right time. This ongoing political turmoil has led to a split in the state House of Assembly and a series of impeachment attempts against Fubara.

Despite the challenges, Governor Fubara remains committed to his vision for Rivers State, promising to continue his efforts to bring about significant changes in the state. His administration’s focus on infrastructure development and other key areas has been well-received by some sections of the public, but it remains to be seen how his policies will fare in the long run and how the political crisis will be resolved.
