Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has emphasized that his administration is adopting a “Jesus style” of governance, contrasting it with the Biblical Babylonian approach. He stressed that his approach is guided by love and a human-centered approach to governance, where the welfare of the people is a priority. He specifically mentioned the importance of love taking precedence over everything, reflecting on how this philosophy shapes his leadership and decision-making.
In his speech during the inauguration of the Labour House in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, he underscored that his administration aims to create a governance system where the people feel valued, even in the face of political challenges. Despite the turbulence, Fubara highlighted the commitment to fostering industrial harmony, which has led to increased productivity and workers feeling more appreciated.
This rhetoric suggests that the Governor sees his leadership as a departure from the harsh, authoritarian rule of figures like Nebuchadnezzar, instead focusing on empathy, collaboration, and community welfare.
