Dez Mayorz Report.
The Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has declared that Rivers State under his watch is on a revolutionary movement
and not leaning on party affiliation.
Governor Fubara who made the declaration while receiving a courtesy visit to the Senate Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation, led by the Chairman, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, said he will not be distracted by the calculated blackmail and sabotage from some quarters against his administration.
The governor noted that God has continued to protect the state as one of such plots to create the crisis in the state was averted when someone who attempted to detonate a dynamite at the Presidential Hotel area yesterday blew off his arms.
He stated that despite being the most abused Governor in the entire federation he had deliberately tolerated such invectives to remain focused on the delivery of democratic dividends in the state, noting that those plotting to instigate crisis in the state will fail.
Governor Fubara decried a situation where the explicit statutory provisions of the constitution on the tenure of local government chairmen will not be applicable in Rivers State and called for a check on such plots to undermine the Constitution to serve some vested interests.
The Governor thanked the committee for the visit and appealed to them to consider the interest of Rivers State in the privatization of businesses in the state because Rivers State has the resources to acquire them for protection and viability to the state and the Federal Government.
In his remark, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation, and former governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, said the committee is in Rivers State to perform its oversight function and decided to pay a courtesy visit to the Governor.
Senator Orji Kalu who described leadership as a delicate process, commended Governor Fubara for his peaceful disposition, visionary and people-oriented style of governance, and urged him to remain focused on the job and hold on to democratic principles and rule of law to promote peace and economic growth in Rivers State.
