Fubara: I fed Rivers assembly lawmakers, paid their children’s fees

Rivers governor Siminalayi Fubara has again criticised the attitude of the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly towards his administration.He said the lawmakers are existing based on his recognition predicated on the Peace Accord initiated by President Bola Tinubu.

He said despite wielding state powers which he can deploy to achieve his aim, he has continued to act as the big brother in the face of intimidation and unwarranted attacks. “We might have our division but I believe that one day, we could also come together but it has gotten to a time when I have to make a statement that they are not existing. Their existence is me allowing them to exist. If I de-recognise them, they are nowhere. I want you to see the sacrifice I have made in allowing peace to reign in our state.”

He also decried the use of police officere to intimidate his supporters, despite showing restraint in the crisis.He said on an occasion, the Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri was the person who briefed him about an important information that a commissioner was supposed to have informed him.
