Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, says he was surprised President Bola Tinubu singled him out while addressing the destruction of local government secretariats in the state.
Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, says he is bothered about President Bola Tinubu “singling him out” in a statement on the crisis in Rivers state.
“Maybe him pulling his men out of those secretariats might be one of the reasons why they took advantage of the situation but I will appeal that while the men are there, the elected officers should have the opportunity to do their work. At least, let them provide security for them, which was even what I was thinking of.”The governor added that he never suggested that the police should completely pull out of the local governments.
“We don’t need to kill ourselves. My time will come, and I will leave; do I need to burn the government house? He also lamented that council development funds will now cover rehabilitation costs, urging residents to act responsibly in the face of provocation, for the greater good. “Are we not acting as irresponsible people? This is an act of irresponsibility! Even if one advises you to go and destroy a government facility, are you not supposed to think twice?
