Fubara

Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has dismissed allegations linking him to militant groups, describing recent social media posts and videos as fabricated attempts to incite unrest in the state.

In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara condemned the circulation of misleading videos that falsely claimed explosions occurred at oil and gas facilities in Rivers State.  The statement clarified that affected communities had debunked these claims, assuring that all critical infrastructure remains intact and operational.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Siminalayi Fubara has no link to any militant group, does not contemplate any such association, and has no reason to encourage any criminal elements to undertake actions that threaten peace, security, or the economy,” the statement read.

Fubara reaffirmed his commitment to peace and stability, emphasizing that governance and development can only thrive in a secure environment. He also warned against attempts to exploit the state’s ongoing political crisis for ulterior motives.

Additionally, he urged bloggers and social media influencers to refrain from spreading misinformation, cautioning that such actions could escalate tensions and disrupt stability. Fubara called on security agencies to investigate and take decisive action against those responsible for spreading falsehoods.
