He said his triumph at the apex court had laid to rest the legal battles that added to the distractions his administration grappled with in the last eight months.
Fubara expressed gratitude to God for His help and to President Tinubu for his fatherly role in the internal crisis and the litigation against his election.
The governor, in a statement signed by his special assistant, media, Boniface Onyedi, also extended gratitude to Wike, whom he described as his “Oga”, for all his support.
Governor Fubara calls for unity
The governor called on everyone to join hands with his administration to build a competitive state that would be reckoned with as truly prosperous in all ramifications.
Tonye Cole, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, had challenged the governor in court over his victory in the state's March 18 governorship election.
Fubara, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election, who was announced as the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), defeated Cole and the APC at the tribunal, Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
Reacting to the development, Governor Fubara said:
"Let everybody be happy that one elephant is out of the road, the other one, by God’s help, will be resolved amicably, and the family will be one.”
