Rivers Crisis: Fubara Reads Riot Acts, Fires At Rivers LG Chairmen
Amid Rivers State political crisis, the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has warned local government chairmen in the State, declaring that those disrespecting his office have already dug their pit and will soon fall into it.
Fubara made read the riot act on Thursday while speaking at the commissioning of Comprehensive Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Ndoni, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of the state, which was built and donated to the state government by former Governor Peter Odili.
The governor specifically berated some local government chairmen in the state for refusing to participate in state government activities because their loyalty lies elsewhere.
He said: “I am surprised that I saw the local government chairman of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni here. I am very surprised because I know that for a very long time, any event that has to do with the state government, all the local government chairmen, as it were, do not participate. I hope when he leaves leave here, they are not going to sack him.
“I know you are not loyal to me. Are they not going to sack you? Or when you leave here, you will grant a press interview that it was not you. That it was your shadow.
“Let me say it here; every one of you who thinks he is disrespecting me, you have already dug your pit, you will fall inside it. Siminalayi Fubara, like a river, will flow in a direction that there is no resistance. One way or the other, we will get to our destination and we will go with our people.
