Governor Fubara Warns of External Threats to Rivers State
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has revealed credible information indicating that mercenaries and thugs have been hired from outside the state under the guise of protest to destroy valuable infrastructure. He emphasized that residents of Rivers State have decided not to participate in the planned 10-day nationwide protest set to begin on August 1. This statement was made during a meeting with representatives from Civil Society Organisations, the National Association of Nigerian Students, ethnic and youth groups, and the Port Harcourt Motor Spare Parts Dealers Union at the Banquet Hall of Government House in Port Harcourt.
Governor Fubara, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, highlighted ongoing public and clandestine activities aimed at destabilizing Rivers State. He stressed the importance of avoiding any actions that might give detractors an opportunity to cause chaos. Fubara expressed concerns about potential property and economic damage, referencing the prolonged recovery time seen in other regions like Kenya. He urged caution and responsible conduct during any protests to prevent such outcomes.
Acknowledging the current economic hardships faced by Nigerians, Fubara noted that the Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, is implementing measures to address these issues and secure a better future. He encouraged activists to consider all perspectives behind the planned protest and not support it solely to please individuals dissatisfied with the current system.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
