In a video seen by Legit.ng, the clerics presented a birthday gift to the Rivers governor and urged him that he should remain focused on the business of governance.

Why Port Harcourt Catholic bishops support Fubara

This is coming at a time when the governor is finding it hard to settle the score with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is now a minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

One of the Catholic bishops recalled that Fubara is a member of the sect and, therefore, the governor should "remain strong, remain firm and remain bold."

They called on the governor to focus on his vision for the oil-rich state. They also said the governor should not leave the part of peace while assuring Fubara that "no power can remove you as governor".

How Wike, Fubara's rift started

In October 2023, the rift between Fubara and Wike went out of control when some lawmakers in the state house of assembly served the governor an impeachment notice.

Fubara got public sympathy and support, and President Bola Tinubu had to intervene to forestall any breakdown of law and order in the state.

Wike, on his part, said he and his camp have fulfilled their own part of the bargain and that the rest lies with Fubara and his camp.
