Political turmoil with Wike delayed my governance, says Fubara

This delayed start, he explained, marked the beginning of his active decision-making and execution of governance responsibilities.

Fubara’s comments came during the inauguration of Egbeda internal roads in the Emohua Local Government Area.

Addressing the public, he expressed pride in the progress made since he began confronting governance issues head-on, noting the positive feedback received from the populace.

While Fubara did not explicitly state the reasons for the long delay, it could be attributed to the ongoing political turmoil, particularly involving his predecessor and former political ally, Nyesom Wike.

Last October, Fubara survived an impeachment attempt orchestrated by members of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to Wike. Additionally, two cabinet members associated with Wike resigned, contributing to the state’s political instability.

Despite these challenges, Fubara emphasised his commitment to delivering quality projects and fostering transparency. He reassured the public that all his actions and decisions are meticulously documented.

The governor highlighted his administration’s focus on service delivery, promising transformative changes for Rivers State.

Fubara also addressed concerns about record-keeping and accountability, stressing the importance of maintaining comprehensive records of all governmental activities.

Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the faction of the Rivers state House of Assembly loyal to Governor Similanayi Fubara had invited some nominees for screening. The nominees were invited to appear before the assembly led by Hon. Victor Oko-Jumbo.

TimesNow.com.ng reported that five commissioners loyal to the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, resigned from Fubara’s cabinet on Wednesday, May 15, citing various reasons.

However, on Tuesday, a letter was reportedly sent out, and eight nominees were invited for screening as commissioners.
