Fubara Exposes How Detractors Failed To Destabilise His Government

Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has exposed how his detractors lured a particular civil servant who offers critical services directly to the state government to undo his administration and destabilise it but failed woefully.

The Governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, and sent to THE NEWSHAUS, expressed delight that the civil servant, who was so lobbied, declined the juicy offer that was put forward, and rather told off the traducers.

Governor Fubara made the revelation shortly after swearing in six new permanent secretaries into the Rivers State Civil Service at Government House in Port Harcourt on Friday.

He said: “One of you, who I can say is the reason why I have to do this now, was pushed by those people whose, duty, is to wield power to make our services here inefficient.

“The person said, Why would I leave a government that has not offended me? And that is, appreciating the little things that I am doing.

“And I have to say, it touched my heart so much that even when people are saying: we are not doing anything; people still appreciate our concern for their well-being.

“You know yourself; I don’t want to call your name. This appointment is because of that decision you took, to appreciate you.”

Governor Fubara told the newly sworn-in Permanent Secretaries that they were appointed to the exalted position in the service because of their dedication to duty.

The six new Permanent Secretaries include Dr. Mekele Comfort Igwe; Mrs. Anthonia I. Ekiseh; Dr. Azibaolanari Uzoma-Nwogu; Mrs. Ihuoma Patience Ray-Boms; Mr. Nwizug Gonee Gordon; and Mr. Chukwuma Ndudi August Ine.
