Gov. Sim Fubara Delivers First-ever Palace For Akpor Kingdom In Over 200 Years by SimFubaraNews(m): 3:20pm On Mar 10
In yet another testament to his unwavering commitment to grassroots development, Governor Siminalayi Fubara has etched his name in the history of Akpor Kingdom by delivering a befitting palace, the first of its kind in over two centuries!

The story began on May 24, 2024, when Governor Fubara visited Akpor Kingdom for the flag-off of the 6.5km Okania-Ogbogoro-Mbaraja road. Among the heartfelt requests of the Akpor people was the construction of a befitting palace, a long-standing dream for the kingdom. Without hesitation, His Excellency acknowledged the need and made a solemn pledge to fulfill it.

True to his word, Governor Fubara awarded the construction contract to Zotto Procuring Limited and today, the people of Akpor Kingdom are witnessing the fulfillment of that promise.

Spanning 9,000 square meters, the magnificent palace boasts of:
✅ A carport for two vehicles
✅ Parking space for over 60 cars
✅ A 120-person capacity hall
✅ A luxurious bar
✅ A traditional meeting point (Obiri)
✅ A fully-equipped secretariat
✅ A guest house for visitors
✅ A security outpost for protection
✅ A stunning water fountain for aesthetics


Understanding that the palace belongs to the entire Akpor people, Governor Fubara went a step further, he also built a befitting residence for the incumbent Nyeweali Akpor, HRH Eze Levi Orlu Oriebe, ensuring a comfortable and dignified home for the kingdom's custodian.

In an emotional expression of gratitude, Eze Levi Orlu Oriebe thanked Governor Fubara as a true friend of Akpor Kingdom, emphasizing that this palace is the first-ever in the over 200-year history of Akpor. As a mark of honour and appreciation, the kingdom did something unprecedented, they bestowed a chieftaincy title on a non-indigene for the first time!

Governor Fubara is now "Omenma 1 of Akpor Kingdom", a title signifying his exceptional goodwill and love for the people.

The magnificent palace was dedicated to the glory of God by HRM Eze Chike Worlu Wodo, Eze Oha Apara IV, sealing the moment as a historic milestone in the kingdom's journey.

Governor Fubara continues to prove that leadership is about action and for the people of Akpor, this day will be remembered for generations to come!

Judas of Opobo. Unrepentant lawless thing. Once the anarchy you are begging for sets in, you will chicken out. Keep playing with fire.

Wike delivered infrastrure as governor of Rivers, presently delivering trains and other projects in Abuja, yet all this guy can show is a palace? How does this palace move Rivers State forward?

The thing that annoys me most about this guy is the destruction of the HOA complex with a bull dozer. He is the first since 1999 to ever do that. Even Obaseki used sand and removed the roof when he had issues with his assembly, but this guy pulled the whole structure down. Now billions will be allocated to rebuilding it. That is my own major problem with him.

Wike built Rail,where and how?
Abuja Metro was completed by Buhari,Tinubu only gave instructions that they should give free Ride which Wike implements.

Make I Enlighten you small,Wike Built lots of roads and Fly overs but he did nothing on Security Matters,Enabling Environment to attract Businesses.
