Governor Siminalayi (Sim) Fubara of Rivers State has been widely praised for his commitment to democratic principles, particularly in his handling of the local government chairmen’s tenure completion. The National Vanguard for Rule of Law (NVRL) highlighted Governor Fubara’s respect for the people’s will by allowing the elected local government officials to serve their full terms, despite political tensions and provocations.

Comrade Johnson Babatunde, speaking on behalf of the NVRL, emphasized that Governor Fubara’s actions exemplify a profound respect for democracy and the rule of law. By upholding the officials’ tenure, Governor Fubara demonstrated that his leadership prioritizes the welfare and interests of the people over personal or political considerations. This stance has positioned him as a role model for other leaders, contrasting sharply with the actions of Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia, who removed elected local government officials despite a court order.

Governor Fubara’s approach has garnered acclaim from various quarters, portraying him as a true democrat and a champion of the people’s rights. His adherence to democratic principles and support for the third tier of government have set a commendable standard in Nigerian politics.
