Fubara focused on governance – Aide

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara's administration is firmly focused on governance and advancing infrastructure development, according to his Chief Press Secretary, Onwuka Nzeshi. Nzeshi has refuted recent criticisms from the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who alleged that Governor Fubara is neglecting his duties in favor of political maneuvering for a second term and has stalled the 2026 budget.

Nzeshi, speaking on a radio program, dismissed Wike's claims as unfounded and inaccurate, asserting that such narratives do not reflect the reality on the ground. He emphasized that Governor Fubara is actively engaged in overseeing and inspecting crucial infrastructure projects throughout the state, demonstrating a commitment to developmental progress. The spokesperson highlighted that the governor inherited 12 major road projects, all of which are nearing completion at approximately 90 percent.

“

It is not correct to say that the governor has been more focused on politics than governance. If anybody says that, it means that person is not on ground. Fubara has been going around every part of the state.

The statement from Fubara's aide serves as a direct rebuttal to the political tensions surrounding the Rivers State governorship. By focusing on tangible development and refuting accusations of political distraction, the administration aims to project an image of stability and effective governance, urging residents to disregard what they term as attempts to discredit the governor.

So, it will be wrong for anybody to say the governor has been busy plotting 2027 instead of doing his job.
