Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has vowed to keep making the camp of his estranged benefactor, Nyesom Wike, restless.
There has been crisis in Rivers
since Fubara fell out with his predecessor who is now Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT).
Speaking at the ground breaking
of automobile spare parts market in Port Harcourt, on Thursday, Fubara declared
the purported list of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee
members for the State, circulating on social media as fake.
He described the list, which
has the names of some Wike’s loyalists, as the handiwork of cheap publicity
seekers and agents of crisis.
“I know that a lot of you saw
something flying in the social media, dailies. Let me brief you, we had a
meeting, and we agreed that, not just in Rivers State, but in all the States
affected, that the Executive Councils (of PDP) should be extended for three
months.”
“This extension is not meant to
bring in new names. The extension also did not say that you are working without
the authority of the Governor. So, for those lists that you saw and those ones
altered, I can assure you that they are not going to stand.
“For record purposes, so that
you will understand, we also agreed that there is going to be a NEC meeting on
the 18th of this month (April) that should ratify that decision.
“So, what you are seeing is the
handiwork of desperate people who like media publicity. In fact, empty drums
make loudest noise. So, don’t bother about anything. Nothing is happening.”
Governor Fubara alluded to the
fear that has come upon his detractors given the warning he issued a day ago
that he will surprise those who dare him, and vowed to continue to make them
feel restless.
The Governor said Rivers State
remains a very important stake to protect, which is why his Administration
chose the path of peace in order to engender progress.
“You can see how restless they
have been since I made just one statement, yesterday. We will continue to make
them restless.”
“They won’t know where we are
coming from. We will also continue to hit them hard the way we hit them,
yesterday. So, those of you who were worried when you saw those lists that were
flying, go and rest, nothing is happening.”
