Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has alleged that there is a scheme involving hired thugs to vandalize key infrastructure in the state under the pretense of protests.
Governor Fubara made these claims during a meeting with representatives from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Rivers State ethnic and youth groups, and the Port Harcourt Motor Spare Parts Dealers Union, Ikoku Branch, at the Government House Banquet Hall in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
Citing recent events in the state, Fubara asserted that there are still individuals intent on destabilizing Rivers State by any means necessary.
Fubara said, “You are already aware of the political situation of our State where people are looking for every avenue to destabilize this State. We don’t need to give them that opportunity to carry out that act.
“And that is the reason why I, representing the government, and the service commanders, have always been in touch with you all, pleading that we should shelve this protest.
“And even if you have to do it, we should do it in a way and manner that it will not get out of control.
“I have information that you don’t have. I am aware of the people that are being hired to come into this state to cause mayhem.
“If anything happens here, we are going to be the greatest losers. Our property will be destroyed. Our economy will be destroyed. And when they finish, they will go back to their states.
Making reference to the Kenyan situation, the governor said, “Look at what has happened in Kenya. It will take them another 20 years to rebuild those things that are being destroyed.
“In Rivers State, we are not that financially bouyant to now start retrogressing where we have already passed. Instead of maintaining and increasing what we have, we will be thinking of rebuilding, if destroyed. Let us not allow it happen.”
In a statement issued by Nelson Chukwudi, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Governor Fubara acknowledged the economic difficulties many Nigerians are facing.
He added that the Federal Government is implementing measures aimed at alleviating these hardships and ensuring a better future for the people.
Fubara also outlined the actions his administration is taking to address the needs and challenges of Rivers residents, while expressing support for the Federal Government’s efforts.
