Tonye Cole speaks out on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s emergence and continuation as the Governor of Rivers State.

He shared his thoughts, saying the governor likely consulted with his close allies before making key decisions.

“My assumption is that the governor would have gone with his own close allies, discussed with them, and said that this is the best way, that he has to move forward for the next six months or thereabouts of his administration. I would assume that’s what he did.”

“But I am not in his chamber, so I wouldn’t know. But that’s what I would assume he would do.”

He added “But having taken the responsibility to come and finish his term, then he has to finish it in the way that allows him to govern. He can’t go back into fighting.”
