Your Fall Is Near, RSG Replies Rivers APC

The Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr. Joseph Johnson, has debunked the claim by the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the state governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, is plotting to procure interim orders to declare the state House of Assembly illegal.
Johnson said there was no truth in the claims of the APC chairman.
According to the State Government’s spokesman, “There is nothing like that. They are afraid because they know their fall is near.
“Rivers people spoke yesterday (Wednesday) through the NULGE, and that organic love expressed threw the camp of the factional acting APC chairman into this feverish situation.”
The State Caretaker Committee Chairman of APC, Tony Okocha, had at a media briefing in Port Harcourt, yesterday, alleged that Fubara was plotting to procure an interim orders to declare the State Assembly illegal.
Okocha also alleged that the governor’s outburst on Wednesday while addressing members of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in Government House, Port Harcourt, was tantamount to drumming war and an act of disrespect for President Bola Tinubu.
Rivers APC may have been rattled by the warning handed down by Governor Fubara on Wednesday that he would surprise his detractors if they dare him.
“If you dare me, I will surprise you,” Fubara had warned his detractors while receiving a large crowd of members of NULGE from the 23 local government areas of Rivers State, who were on a solidarity rally to the Government House in Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.
The governor also urged members of the NULGE in the state to prepare and brace up, because the next phase “will be fire for fire in Rivers State.”
Fubara also assured the NULGE members of his support and urged them not to be intimidated.
