Rivers crisis: God is fighting your battles – Deputy gov tells Fubara

The Deputy Governor of Rivers State Prof Ngozi Odu, has assured Governor Sim Fubara that God has taken over his battles.

Odu said God would continue to fight Fubara’s battle and he would end victorious.

She spoke during the Praise Night organised by the State Government to mark Fubara’s first anniversary in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital on Friday night.

Odu’s comment is coming amid the face-off between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads over the control of the state.

Despite President Bola Tinubu’s intervention, the rift has continued.

Odu said: “My boss and brother, you are victorious already. The good Lord has rolled away the stone. We shall continue to have this shared vision of putting Rivers State first.

“Because what God has done, it shall be permanent, because any mountain, like the word of God says, ‘who is that mountain before Zerubbabel, it will be made a plain.

“So, my boss, my amiable Governor and His lovely and wonderful wife I call my daughter, there is no mountain before us that God will not make a plain.

“And when God takes over the battle, you don’t need to fight. Everyday I remind myself of the war of Gideon in the Bible. Gideon said he doesn’t know how to fight and God said no, the fight is not yours, is His and Gideon went and he was victorious.”
