A group under auspices of Sahelian Youth Forum for Good Governance and Advocacy (SYFGGA) has urged detractors of Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, should allow him to provide dividends of democracy to his people
The National President of SYFGGA, Comrade Aminu Harsanu Guyaba made the call in a news conference on Thursday in Bauchi.
According to him, 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.
“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 commended Gov 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.
