There is no doubt that the Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara is gradually gaining his feet as a leader to be reckoned with in the politics of the state. To the admiration of his numerous supporters within and outside Rivers, the Governor is now talking tough at every forum without minding whose ox is gored.
The Governor made it known to all that he had judiciously implemented six out of the eight points “political solution” invented by the President. The remaining two are the re-presentation of the 2024 budget and the conduct of a local government election. There is no clear indication that these two points will be implemented.
Chief Tony Okocha, APC caretaker committee chairman in the state had branded the Governor as being disrespectful to the President for not conducting the LG election as enshrined in the presidential peace clause. “If you signed an agreement to implement the eight points and you ended up implementing just six, you have disrespected the President”, Okocha said.
