Gov Siminalayi Fubara
Gov Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has alleged that there are plans to mobilize 20 people per unit to attack the newly sworn-in local government Chairmen in the state.
He urged them to be peace-loving, patient and calculative in their approach.
Fubara gave the warning while swearing in the newly elected local government Chairmen in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Capital on Sunday evening at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
22 of the sworn-in chairmen chairmen were from the Action Peoples Party, while one won on the platform of the Action Alliance.
Fubara said: “I’m aware that there are plans to mobilise 20 people per unit to confront you when you return to your local government headquarters.
“If they come with violence, avoid them. The peace of this state is too important to us. Everyone knows what they are planning, but I urge you to follow my approach.
“At the right time, you will always win if you are patient and calculative. We have made our promises to our people, and we are committed to leading them to the Promised Land.”
