A group under the auspices of Sahelian Youth Forum For Good Governance and Advocacy (SYFGGA) has enjoined
detractors of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara allow him to provide dividends of democracy to his people
National President of SYFGGA, Comrade Aminu Harsanu Guyaba, who made the call in a news conference in Bauchi, lamented that it is disheartening to see that some unscrupulous elements are working behind the scenes to distract him from the good work he has been doing.
According to him, “These elements, having exhausted their own tenure, seek to continue exerting control over the state. This is not only undemocratic but also detrimental to the progress and stability of Rivers State.
“Upon all the distraction we commend Governor Fubara for his doggedness and resilience in the face of challenges.” he said
Guyaba pointed out that the Fubara administration has been marked by numerous achievements that have positively impacted the lives of the citizens.
“From infrastructure development to healthcare improvements and economic empowerment, Governor Fubara’s dedication to serving the people of Rivers State is evident in every step he takes.
“We also appreciate Fubara,for his recent bold and commendable decision to swear in local government caretaker committee chairmen.
“This decisive action was taken despite the attempts by former chairmen to cling to power even after exhausting their constitutional limits,” he said.
The Forum called on President Bola Tinubu, to address this pressing issue with his experience and implications of external control and a potential danger to a Governor.
“We urge Mr. President to use his good office to ensure that Governor Fubara is allowed to govern without undue interference.
“We also call on the National Assembly to urgently look into the matter in Rivers State. It is imperative that Fubara is given the space to work diligently for his people and provide them with the dividends of democracy,” Comrade Guyaba said.
