The Rivers State Government has disowned one
“Mr Kinsgsely Fubara”, who is said to be a
Director of Finance and Administration, in the
State Government.
Report had emerged that Fubara made repeated
financial withdrawals from the Central Bank of
Nigeria and Zenith Bank to the tune of 11 billion
Naira.
But in a statement by Dr. Austin Tam-George,
Commissioner for Information and
Communication, Rivers State, he denied the
claims.
According to him, “The Rivers State Government
never conducted such financial transactions and
the report is patently false.
“The Rivers State Government has no record of
any staff known as Kingsely Fubara. This must be
a fictional character created by the All
Progressives Congress (APC)) and the Punch
newspaper to embarrass the State Government
and deceive the public.
“The report also indicated that the Attorney
General of the Federation (AGF) has directed the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) to probe these so-called withdrawals. Such
a directive, if true, would be a manifestly illegal
and ridiculous proposition.
“By law, the Rivers State Government is
accountable to the Rivers State House of
Assembly and the people of Rivers State, not to
the Attorney General of the Federation.
“This is a totally fictitious report typically
orchestrated by the APC and its media allies.
But the story raises fundamental questions about
the moral horror of an anti-graft agency that is
now openly partisan in all its intentions and
actions.
“There is universal concern that the EFCC is
playing an extremely corrosive role in the current
political dispensation. Rather than fight
corruption in a professional and dispassionate
manner, the EFCC behaves shamelessly like an
integral organ of the APC.
“An anti-graft commission that targets only
opposition politicians and critics of the failed
policies of the APC government is a national
embarrassment.
“Has the EFCC ever heard of one Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers State and
current Minister of Transport? Despite receiving
over three trillion Naira in eight years as governor,
Amaechi left the most abandoned projects in the
history of Rivers State, since 1967.
“Several petitions against Amaechi, supported by
sworn affidavits, have all been summarily ignored
by the EFCC.
“Even chieftains of the APC have publicly
acknowledged Rotimi Amaechi’s stupendous
financial contributions to the party’s presidential
campaign in 2015. These financial contributions,
estimated at billions of Naira, constitute serious
financial crime against the people of Rivers State.
“The Government and people of Rivers State will
resist any politically-motivated targeting of its
leaders by any agency of the Federal
Government, by whatever name it is called.”

Assembly and the people of Rivers State, not to
