I owe nobody any apology for sending my children to private school – Governor Fubara

Governor Siminialayi Fubara of Rivers State has asserted that he has no reason to apologize for selecting a private school to provide elementary education for his children.

Attending his son Joseph’s graduation ceremony at a private school in Port Harcourt, Fubara stated that he believes in offering his children the best opportunities available. If that means enrolling them in a school that values and nurtures their skills, he firmly believes he owes no one an apology for his choice.

He said; “For the past two weeks, every morning, Joseph wakes up, comes to my bed and asks: are you attending my graduation? I was looking for excuse but because of the way he was insisting, I don’t want to lose him. Let me as a government representing the good people of Rivers State commend this school.

“I know when I leave here, there might be a few interpretation of attending this graduation but the truth remains that I wanted better standard above what we had at that time.

“This school was recommended and I can say that when I changed my children, I noticed a lot of improvement. As the only legacy you have is quality children, even if you have the whole houses in the world, have all the money, it amounts to nothing when you don’t have a worthy successor.

“What I owe them is the best and if the best is sending them to school that I believe in their skills, I do not owe anybody apology for that. So, I thank you for what you’re doing. Don’t lower the bar.”
