Fubara’s Seat Secure: APC Spokesman Dismisses Impeachment Speculations

It is important to note that the Ijaw people have both supporters and critics of the Governor among them. Some Ijaw sons and daughters stand with the Governor, while others in the State House of Assembly oppose him. Therefore, when discussing those who disagree with the Governor, one must be cautious to avoid making divisive statements. Those fueling this crisis are ethnic chauvinists, not representatives of political parties. People from different ethnic backgrounds belong to various political platforms, and their affiliations should not be misconstrued.

“In Rivers State, we have prominent Ijaw leaders like Senator George Sekibo, Erastus Awotu, and Rowland Sekibo, who advocate for peace and unity. Their priority is fostering cohesion and working collectively to advance the state’s development.

“However, the real issue lies with individuals from outside Rivers State who attempt to influence and dictate the affairs of the state from afar. This external interference is a major cause of instability. As the Minister of the FCT rightly pointed out, the Ijaw people of Rivers State have always coexisted peacefully with other ethnic groups. The real agitators are the Ijaws from outside Rivers State, who are instigating discord by misleading our Ijaw brothers here into believing they are superior in numbers.”
