The Chairman of the Rivers State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Leader Sampson, has claimed there is no true reconciliation between the suspended Governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Naija News reports that Sampson, in an interview with Daily Post, asserted that the political crisis in the rich oil state may continue and even get worse after Fubara’s return.
According to the ADC chieftain, the crisis in Rivers state was politically motivated, and there is a tendency that one individual will continue to insist on what happens in the state.
When questioned on the reconciliation between Governor Fubara and Wike, Sampson said, “From what we have seen, there was no true reconciliation. It’s just one man having his way. Fubara returning as a governor of Rivers State with the members of the state House of Assembly returning may not go well.
“There is a tendency that if one individual continues to insist that his will and whatever he wants is what is going to happen in the Rivers State, there will be more crises. When it has to do with leadership and governing the state, the tendency of more crises is still very high.
“Like I said, what you call the crisis in Rivers State was politically motivated. What we are still going to experience in the state is still going to be politically motivated.”
Sampson also called on the Sole Administrator of the state, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, to account for how he spent Rivers’ people’s money within six months of emergency rule.
He said, “For the purpose of accountability, Ibas needs to give account of everything that happened within his six months in Rivers State.
“He needs to tell Nigerians what he did with Rivers State people’s money. He needs to tell us the projects he executed, the amount of money that came in and the things he did with those monies.
“He should tell us how much came from the Rivers State internally generated revenue and how much he received as Federal Government allocations. If he doesn’t have anything to hide, then he should give an account.”
