The four traditional rulers received their certificates and staff of office on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, during which Governor Fubara urged them to regard their appointment as a call to service.
“Your appointment in terms of this recognition is not for personal aggrandizement, but a call for service, a responsibility to help us protect lives and property in your domains.”

Fubara, therefore, warned them against using their position to create problems in their domains.
“I don’t want you to see this elevation as another platform to create problems in your locality. We have the power to still withdraw the recognition, but I don’t intend to do that. So, I want you to be partners with the government to ensure that we continue to succeed.
“I know that you are all men of integrity. Support the course of governance so that we can all succeed together. It is really a privileged position, and I am very sure that you are going to use it for the best of the interest of your people.”
