Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has fired warning to the local government chairmen in the State.

He said: “Those disrespecting me as governor of Rivers State have already dug their pit and will soon fall into it.”

“Those describing my administration as clueless because we are not constructing roads to personal property or serving the interests of few individuals are clueless.”

“I am elected to serve the general interests of the Rivers people, improve their social status, and make life comfortable for them.”

“The local government chairmen pretending to be serving the people while worshipping the interests of one man are digging a pit to bury their political careers.”

“My administration is determined to build an egalitarian society where people can freely voice their opinions, be bold enough to criticise my government constructively to further advance good governance.”

“But I thank God that whatever it is they think or imagine we are doing, we are happy we are touching lives. Everyone can attest to it. But one critical project, one specific aspect of it is the well-being of our people.”

“We made a promise to Mr. President to support him, and we will continue to support him. How do we support him?”

“It is to ensure that the welfare of our people is provided for. It is to ensure that our people, those in critical need, are happy in this harsh economic situation.”

“If we cannot solve all the problems, at least, we will go as much as we can to mitigate those basic challenges. That is the only way to support Mr. President.”
