Women in Rivers State have been urged to remain steadfast and unwavering in their faith amid prevailing political and economic challenges in the country.
An advocacy group, Rivers Women Unite for SIM (RWUS), made the call during its monthly thanksgiving gathering held on Thursday, May 28, 2026 with the theme: “BEYOND THE STORM,”
The group encouraged women across the State to remain focused and not allow distractions or temporary challenges to weaken their commitment to the peace, unity, and continued progress of Rivers State.
RWUS noted that Governor Siminalayi Fubara has continued to exhibit maturity and uncommon leadership qualities through his developmental strides and people-oriented programmes across the State.
According to the women, their organization remains interfaith-based, with a strong commitment to continuous prayers and intercession for the peace, stability, and advancement of Rivers State and Nigeria as a whole in line with Gov. Fubara’s policy actions.
The group further charged women not to grow weary in difficult times but to remain steadfast in faith and hopeful, stressing that God remains faithful in changing difficult situations for the better.
RWUS also reaffirmed its unalloyed support for Governor Fubara, describing him as a people-oriented leader committed to spreading development and improving the welfare of Rivers people across the State.
The women pledged their continued solidarity with the RIVERS FIRST mantra of the governor as he continues in delivering democratic dividends to the people of Rivers State.
They further condemned the abduction of school children in some parts of the country and called on the security agencies to intensify efforts in rescuing the children from their abductors, describing the incident as unfortunate. They prayed for the safe return of the children.
