Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has asserted that his actions as Accountant-General were guided by approvals, and he is confident in his decisions. During the inauguration of the Egbeda internal roads project, Fubara emphasized that he has meticulously kept records of his activities and decisions, including the requisite approvals.
This declaration comes after Fubara announced the establishment of a judicial panel of inquiry to investigate the management of state resources and affairs during the administration of his predecessor, Nyesom Wike. Despite being declared wanted by the EFCC in May 2022 over alleged fraud, Fubara maintains that his actions were based on approved procedures.
Fubara revealed that he began making decisions as governor in February, eight months after taking office, and has since been working diligently to deliver projects and services to the people of Rivers State. The delay in assuming full governance is likely attributed to the ongoing political feud between Fubara and Wike, which has resulted in a divided state house of assembly and resignations from Fubara’s cabinet.
