One Year In Office: Nigerians in Diaspora Laud Gov Fubara's Leadership Style

The group emphasised that Governor Fubara’s approach to politics is still relatively rare in Nigeria’s dynamic political landscape.

In a statement signed by its President, Dr Reginald Agamah, ANPE noted that despite distractions from disgruntled politicians in the state, Governor Fubara’s achievements in just one year in office are far-reaching and worthy of commendations.

Dr Agamah lauded Governor Fubara for resisting the urge to use the distractions he faced from state actors as an excuse not to perform.

He admonished detractors to give Rivers State time to heal and be better positioned for development.

“The Association of Nigerian Professionals in Europe, ANPE, commend Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State for his unique approach to governance,” the statement said. We commend the Governor for prioritising the interest of Rivers people over politics.

“Governor Fubara’s brand of politics is still relatively rare in Nigeria’s dynamic political landscape, resembling the egalitarianism of Abraham Lincoln. His personal political philosophy is worthy of emulation.

“Without sounding immodest and backed by empirical evidence, Governor Sim Fubara stands tall today amongst his colleagues as a peerless brand of humility, integrity, prudence, love for the people, honesty of purpose, candour, and a patriotic fervour still uncommon in Nigerian effervescent political horizon.

“Little wonder why he has garnered attention from both political and non-political circles due to his distinctive style of politicking. Governor Fubara has been rightly crowned the ‘Governor of the Year’ in his first year in office as a first-termer by several national and international publications, professional bodies, civil society organisations et al.

“We are very happy and want to extend our appreciation to Governor Sim, as he is fondly called by the people, for not letting Rivers people down despite the array of distractions he is facing in office. We commend him for not drowning in the pool of antics of detractors and saboteurs. He has demonstrated a strong character and unparalleled sagacity. He has no doubt presented himself as an asset to Nigeria’s democracy. His steadfastness is not only a win for Rivers people but also a victory for Nigeria’s democracy, especially against godfatherism.

“We commend the Governor for not allowing detractors to deter him from delivering good governance to Rivers people. No one would have thought that an embattled Governor would embark on an ambitious project like the Port Harcourt Ring Road project, which Fubara’s administration flagged off on 17 July 2023; the largest infrastructure project by a State Government in Nigeria. His achievements across critical sectors such as health, education, agriculture, human capital development, and security are quite commendable. Governor Fubara’s revitalization efforts are self-evident and realistic.

“We, therefore, admonish detractors to give Rivers State time to heal. The state is still bleeding from the destabilization orchestrated by disgruntled politicians and saboteurs.

“The Association of Nigerian Professionals in Europe commend Rivers people for their unwavering support for their beloved Governor Sim. They recognize his immense potential, sagacity, and visionary leadership, supported by undeniable evidence. We share their sentiments wholeheartedly. With Sim Fubara, one can only anticipate quality and unparalleled governance.

“We also commend the peace-loving Governor Fubara for his leadership instinct which is responsible for the relative peace in the state. It is on record that the Governor is sustaining the peace in the State by complying with the Rivers Peace Accord signed at the behest of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, despite the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and his allies disregarding the 8-point agreement. This not only shows that Fubara is committed to lasting peace in the state but also demonstrates that he is, indeed a man of integrity. Governor Fubara is the kind of leader Nigerians long for.”

Under the guidance of Minister Tijani and the regulatory oversight of EVC/CEO Maida, the group said Nigeria has witnessed significant strides in the development of its digital economy, including the implementation of various initiatives to enhance digital infrastructure, promote innovation, and foster inclusive economic growth.

A statement signed by its President Comrade Yusuf Taiwo acknowledged their tireless effort to position Nigeria as a leader in the digital space, creating a conducive environment for businesses to thrive, entrepreneurs to innovate, and citizens to access essential services.

Taiwo highlighted Tijani’s impact on digital economy policy and strategy, national broadband plan, digital literacy, contribution to GDP and consumer protection.

“One of Minister Tijani’s most notable achievements is the successful launch of the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS). This landmark policy has served as a roadmap for Nigeria’s digital transformation, providing a framework for the development of the country’s digital economy,” Taiwo said.

“The National Broadband Plan (NBP) was developed to increase broadband penetration and availability across Nigeria. The plan has led to significant improvements in internet access, with broadband penetration increasing from 20% to 40% in just two years.

“Minister Tijani has also introduced initiatives to enhance digital literacy and skills, empowering millions of Nigerians to participate in the digital economy. The Digital Skills Development Program, launched under his leadership, has trained over 1 million Nigerians in digital skills, preparing them for the jobs of the future.

“The Minister has facilitated the deployment of 5G networks in Nigeria, positioning the country as a leader in the adoption of this cutting-edge technology. The rollout of 5G networks has significantly improved internet speeds, enabling Nigerians to access digital services more efficiently.

“Under his leadership, the telecommunications sector has contributed substantially to Nigeria’s GDP, with the sector growing by over 15% in the past year.
Tijani has also prioritized consumer protection, introducing measures to protect Nigerians from unsolicited telemarketing messages and calls.”

Speaking on Maida, Taiwo added that the NCC has made significant strides in spectrum allocation, assigning new frequencies to telecoms operators, and fostering a more competitive and inclusive telecoms market.

“Maida has also played a pivotal role in the successful deployment of 5G services in Nigeria, revolutionizing the country’s telecommunications landscape and positioning Nigeria as a hub for digital innovation in West Africa. The NCC, under Maida’s guidance, has intensified efforts to expand broadband coverage and access, aiming to bridge the digital divide and promote economic growth.

“Maida has prioritized cybersecurity, collaborating with stakeholders to develop and implement robust measures to safeguard the nation’s cyberspace and protect telecoms infrastructure. The EVC has fostered stronger partnerships between the NCC, telecoms operators, and other stakeholders, promoting a culture of cooperation and driving progress in the sector.

“Maida has also emphasized the importance of human capital development, initiating training programs and capacity-building initiatives for NCC staff, telecoms professionals, and other stakeholders.”

While calling on other government appointees to emulate Tijani and Maida, the group urged them to continue to use their expertise and strategic direction to shape the country’s telecoms future.

Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has continued to cement his position as one of the most accurate prophets in the world with the fulfillment of several remarkable prophecies but this time, the legal battles of the former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has become the first former US president to be criminally convicted. In a historic decision, a New York jury has found him guilty of falsifying business records to commit election fraud. He was found guilty of all 34 counts he faced. Unanimity was required for any verdict.

The former president is set to be sentenced on 11 July – days before the start of the Republican National Convention on 15 July where Trump is expected to be formally nominated for president.

Four years ago, while Donald Trump was rounding off his tenure as the POTUS, Primate Ayodele spoke on the future of the politician. He stated that the ex-president would have legal battles to face after he leaves office. He also revealed that Donald Trump would be disgrace with legal challenges when he leaves government

These were his words

“Donald Trump will face some legal challenges that will disgrace him when he leaves government. This is why He is yet to accept defeat.”

US: ‘I foresee divorce between Trump, Melania, he’ll be disgraced’ – Primate Ayodele

Asides his prophecy in 2020 regarding the legal battles of the former POTUS, the man of God continued to speak about the legal issues that will befall the politician especially in relation to his 2024 presidential ambition.

In one of his prophecies regarding the subject, Primate Ayodele revealed that there will be attempts to stop Donald Trump from contesting the 2024 election through legal means.

These were his words:

‘’……Trump still needs prayers because they want to really battle him to stop him from contesting in the election…… There are laws and steps they will use to kick against him’’

In another prophecy, Primate Ayodele warned Trump again to restrategize so that his political ambitions will not be crumbled through legal means by his opponents.

These were his words:

‘’Trump needs to restrategize otherwise his political ambition will suffer a bit of setback. He needs to be very firm and careful so that his political intentions will not be crumbled by legal matters which can put an end to his ambition.’’

Furthermore, in his 2024 prophecies which were released in December 2023, Primate Ayodele made it known that the ruling party in the USA will try every possible means to disqualify Donald Trump from contesting the election because he will be a threat.

These were his words:

‘’The ruling party in the United States of America will want to disqualify Donald Trump from contesting the coming Election because he will be a threat and the government will find a way to fight him, I foresee that if things continue this way, disqualification is staring Trump in the face in this coming election. Donald trump will be a threat to the ruling party’’

Primate Ayodele has been very consistent in warning about the legal battles that Donald Trump would face even when there was no petition against him yet in 2020. The legal battles Donald Trump has faced has been described as unprecedented because there has never been any former president of the US that got convicted in history.

It is also worthy of note that Primate Ayodele was the only prophet that foretold the emergence of Donald Trump as the president when the Democratic Party was still in power and similarly, foretold the unexpected loss of Donald Trump to Joe Biden in 2020.
