Sacked Commissioners in Rivers State said that their sack was because they told the Governor, Barr Nyesom Wike, the obvious truth.

"We were like rubber stamp Commissioners just like the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly. We don't talk in Executive Council meetings. Only the Governor does the talking. The Governor starts the meetings with intimidating talks and ends the meetings with even more intimidating and threat-filled talks.

"We had an Executive Council meeting, there and then we told the Governor to treat us as people that are also part of the government. One of us stood up to tell the Governor boldly that he, the Governor and only him alone is the one making all the money while the Commissioners cannot pay their children's school fees, hospital bills and other bills. He went on to ask the Governor to explain to them what he did with the over N150 billion loan he took from banks in addition to statutory allocations from FAAC running into billons. He also asked the Governor to explain to them what he used the recently released Paris Club Refund of about N35 billion for. At this point the Governor got so livid and went straight to the bold Commissioner. His ADC intervened. That intervention would put to an end a free-for-all in the Council Chambers and the Governor said, 'I have the power to hire and fire and I will activate it here and now, Simeon, announce their sack immediately, enough of this nonsense'."

Truth unfolding... little by little the piece will fall apart

There's no denial that billionaire businessman Chf. Barr. Dumo Lulu-Briggs has struck a chord with Rivers people since the pressure groups and social media started clamouring his name as a possible replacement for the diminishing administration in the state.

Right now, Rivers State's economy is floundering, businesses are moving out at an unprecedented rate, foreign scholarship students are returning without completing their studies, students in tertiary institutions are protesting the refusal of the Wike led administration to pay bursary . Instead, criminals and cultists are empowered to trigger the level of insecurity. The rate of unemployment is growing at an alarming rate even when verifications of authentic Civil Servants have ended after one year and six months and the government is playing politics.

It's time for a bold leader in the Brick House. It's time for Dumo Lulu-Briggs to govern and make the long awaited difference. 

Chf. Barr. Dumo Lulu-Briggs is the kind of leader our State needs right now to reverse the damages done by the Wike administration and we believe that he will do all it takes to restore Rivers State to her Nationally and Internationally acclaimed "Treasure Base" again.

Rivers State needs a business cum political leader whose sole interest is to explore and manage the numerous endowments of the state to the benefit of the people.

We need a leader of his own mind. One who is devoid of sectional leadership mindset. One whose visionary leadership is cast on the full spectrum of building a State that is bigger than him and his party platform.

He will not read his visions or intentions from stale words of paid script writers, but his actions will be drawn from the bounty of floating ideas enriched by creative engagements of his mind, powered by the dynamics of his vision as it relates to understanding the diversity of humanity.

A leader whose ethnic origin will not guide his conduct or choice of appointments. Rivers State does not need a leader who will concentrate on the resources of the entire state in developing only his ethic locality.

We have resolved not to allow any leader whose identity is frosty to continue with the deceit. We want a leader that must transform the intangible to tangible through spiritual objectives of practical human feelings. He will build roads; provide electricity, homes and food for the people, but only as a normal, natural responsibility of state and not a mediocre platform to play to the gallery and cheap sentiments of small minds.

Instead he goes beyond his comfort to set standards of integrity, strong ethical values and would live by practical example.

He must be a man who is not subject to unequivocal prediction of the people he is leading but working all round to figure out all he stands to achieve in the course of governance.

We need a made man with the freedom of mind and conscience to operate without the traditional limitations that govern the domain of myths. One who has tasted the bad and good of life.

Purposeful leaders do not give room for long and unnecessary presumptions. Their emergence is without force and authority but with several purposeful trial at the position brings to pass the time bound achievement plans.

Come 2019, Rivers State needs such a leader whose zeal will be consumed with the vision and objectives of his leadership charisma as one whose actions, commitments and ideals, that will be so loud and sharp that it cannot be blurred by the criticisms expected from opponents.

It is for these reasons stated above and many more, that we the concerned youths and residents of Rivers State, join our voices in calling on the man DLB to join the governorship race come 2019." We are convinced that only DLB can make Rivers State Great again.

Rivers State really deserves better. Enough of the typical politicians with all their lies. Its time men with proven managerial skill and successful business come on board. I join my voice to also call on #DLB to come on board.

Dumo Lulu-Briggs is the game changer of Rivers State politics, a fine politician with the interest of people uppermost in his heart. One politician who will liberate Rivers State from the current insecurity and poverty in the state. PDP's loss APC's gain.

Please stop misinforming the public. Seplat is owned by ABC Orjiako from Ihiala in Anambra State. Be properly guided.

In case you don't know, Seplat Petroleum Development Company (Seplat) is a Nigerian oil company based in Lagos. The company was formed in 2009 by a merger of Platform Petroleum and Shebah Exploration and Production, both small Nigerian based companies
Chief DLB owns Platform.
