According to Fubara, he was first promoted by God before he was endorsed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its leadership to be the flagbearer of the party in the March 18 governorship election in Rivers state.
Speaking at the Holy Ghost rally of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, January 30, the governor said God further promoted him to win the 2023 election in the state.
Governor Fubara speaks on the source of promotion
According to the Channels Television report, the rally was attended by Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the RCCG; the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; Governor Fubara’s major opponent in the poll, Tonye Cole of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other political leaders.
“I was promoted by God first. Then, my party and the leaders of my party. So, the promotion comes from God and God alone.”
Fubara and Wike’s rift became heated in late October 2023 when the majority of the lawmakers loyal to the latter in the state house of assembly served the former notice of impeachment.

Catholic bishops bless Gov Fubara
Legit.ng earlier reported that the Rivers state governor, Fubara, had received some spiritual backing from some bishops in the state who assured him of a successful tenure.
Governor Fubara, who was presented with a birthday gift at a Catholic church, was urged to remain focused and peaceful because no power could remove him from office.
The bishops’ message to the governor came when Fubara and his predecessor, Wike, were yet to make peace in their rift.
