Gov Fubara Speaks On Assembly Complex Lookout..I Have Made Several Unsuccessful Attempts To Speak To The Speaker , He Said

The governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara has accused the current Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule of deliberately avoiding him.

Speaking to journalists at the entrance of the official quarters of the State’s House of Assembly, where he was denied access on Wednesday, March 12, Fubara said, he has tried severally to reach out to the Speaker but to no avail.

The governor had arrived at the Assembly complex in the company of some top Rivers State government officials including Tammy Danagogo, the Secretary to the State Government and Edison Ehie, his Chief of Staff.

However, Fubara and his entourage were not able to gain access to the complex as they met a locked gate.

“Before my arrival here, I made several attempts to speak to the Speaker. I also sent a letter which was transmitted for this particular invitation.

“Unfortunately, at the gate, you can see that the place is completely sealed, and there is no sign that anything is going to happen today,” Fubara told journalists.

He also stated that every action he has taken so far is in the interest of the people of Rivers State whom he had sworn to serve.

He said, “The reason why we are doing this, I have always said, is in the interest of our people, which is the most important thing. I don’t think there is anything to worry about. I expect to hear from them after today.”
