How Rivers Governor Fubara Has Been Making People To Be Hungry In Rivers – House Of Reps Member, Bob Laments

Bob while reacting to the political crisis between former governor, Nyesom Wike and Governor Fubara, asked President Bola Tinubu not to condone what he described as bad behaviour in Rivers State.

A member of the National Assembly representing Abua/Odual and Ahoada East Federal Constituency of Rivers State in the House of Representatives, Solomon Bob, has said that Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State is “displaying gross lawlessness and constitutional abuse” in the state.

Bob while reacting to the political crisis between former governor, Nyesom Wike and Governor Fubara, asked President Bola Tinubu not to condone what he described as bad behaviour in Rivers State.

Bob in a statement he personally signed on Friday said that Governor Fubara had committed several impeachable constitutional breaches and also withdrawn the local government funds.

He said, “Fubara’s outrageous lawlessness and assault on the constitution require that he faces the consequences of his actions, and that the President would be failing to live up to his oath of office to be seen to be condoning Fubara’s unprecedented lawless behaviour.”

He added that “President Tinubu must not appear like an enabler of impunity and egregious unlawful behaviour.”

According to him, “Governor Fubara destroyed an entire branch of the government to the rubble. He is running a government without a budget and spending Rivers people’s money recklessly.

“He has illegally withheld funds due to local governments, and our people are running on empty. The House of Assembly, which has the constitutional responsibility to take necessary measures against the governor, must not be fettered.

“At the moment, that’s the impression I get. I listened to the President’s media aide the other day, and I was disappointed. His statement is preposterous.”

Bob told President Tinubu that “If you do nothing in the face of gross lawlessness and constitutional abuse such as Fubara is displaying in Rivers State, that’s not neutrality, that’s siding with impunity, lawlessness, and tyranny.”
