During the launch of 20,000 housing units in the Ikwerre Local Government Area, Fubara conveyed to investors that Rivers State is safe and secure for their investments.
“Rivers State is a haven for investment. What we are doing today is to let the world know; not what you hear on the radio or what you see on the screen of television, ‘Rivers State is not safe, there is a crisis’.
“Rivers State is safe and secure for anybody anywhere to come and invest, your investment is safe in our hands,” Fubara said.

The governor further guaranteed the residents of the state that his administration will look after them and ensure their protection. He emphasized that his government is not interested in engaging in conflicts with anyone.
“For our people, I want to assure you that our governance has nothing to do with fighting anybody. Our governance is to take care of and defend our people.
“I can assure you here that this is the beginning of our service to the people of Rivers State. It is not service to big men like me but like to the low-income people,” he said.
The ongoing political crisis in the state, fueled by the feud between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has resulted in a divided state House of Assembly. Twenty-seven lawmakers, initially from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier in the week. However, the leader of another faction in the Assembly, Edison Ehie, declared their seats vacant following the defection.
Amidst the turmoil, Governor Fubara demolished the Assembly complex, citing its unsuitability after being damaged by fire two months ago. He also presented the 2024 budget to the Ehie-led group at the Government House in Port Harcourt, following a court order that barred the Martins Amaewhule-led group, perceived allies of Wike, from using the assembly.
The crisis escalated further with the resignation of 7 commissioners from Fubara’s cabinet.
