She said she was not surprised because, “Rivers people voted massively for Governor Fubara, the PDP Candidate in the Gubernatorial election.
“Governor Fubara is a calm gentleman with great administrative wealth of experience, as a career civil servant, who has demonstrated huge passion for the development of the State so far.”
Banigo, who hailed the verdict of the Three-Man Panel led by Justice Cletus Emifonye, also advised political opponents in the State to, “sheath their swords and join hands with the State Governor in the consolidation regime for the overall interest of Rivers people.”
The National Law Maker, while congratulating Sim on his Victory at the Tribunal, urged him to remain focused and sustain the development pace for the greater good of the State.
