Sir Sim Fubara was addressing a delegation of Ijaw leaders led by Senator Seriake Dickson.

Let me say it here, the young people, those group of men who claim that they are Assembly members are not Assembly members, they are not existing.

I want it to be on record. I accepted that peace accord to give them a floating, that's the truth. There was nothing in that peace accord that is a constitutional issue, it's a political solution to a problem.

Then I accepted it because these were people that were eating in my house. These are people I have helped paid their children's school fees when I wasn't even a Governor, so what is the thing there? Yes, we might have our disagreements, but I believe that one day, we could also come together. That was the reason I did it.

But I think it has gotten to a time when I need to make a statement on this thing so that they understand that they are not existing. Their existence is me allowing them to exist, if i de-recognise them they are no where, that's the truth.

So, I want you to see the sacrifice I have made in the course of allowing peace to be in our State. I can say here with all amount of boldness I have never called any policeman anywhere to go and harass anybody, I have never gone anywhere to do anything against anybody but what happens to people that are supporting me, they are been harassed, they are been detained. There is no week someone does not come in here with letter of invitation for trumped-up charges and what my senior here said using the word restrained, i don't think the other party here has shown any restraint, I am the one that has shown restraint in the face of this thing.

I am the one that is badly been hit even when I have all the Government instruments to cause disaster but why will I do it, this is a relationship that we have been together, eaten together so why will i forget those things?

So even when I act, I act knowing there is a relationship bigger and greater than any other thing. Politics will go and politics will come but what's important is your relationship and how you are been perceived after power.

It doesn't last forever, it's something that stays for a while, so one way or the other it starts and it ends, they say transient. For example, our father (Dickson) was former, he had his time. Things that they ought to do, my commissioners hide the information from me, he (CoS) calls me and tells me this this and this. You don't know what I am going through, I am working with my enemies.

Imagine when your Attorney-General will go and sabotage you, it's as bad as that, but they will all get their reward. Not in the next world but in this world. If I had not gone to reconcile with my brother, I will have been in bigger sh!t, so i am already benefitting and reaping the benefits of that peaceful relationship.

It's unfortunate that what brought us to this level is that we don't have leaders in Rivers State, let's not pretend. What happened in Rivers State even happened in Bayelsa but people could call and say don't do this and don't do that and they said let's let it go but not in this State because the leaders have sold their conscience because of what.. money, not even good money. If you are doing something because of money, it should be good money.

I want to leave here and be that type of leader that will look at you and tell you the truth, that is what leadership should be. When you leave an office and been called an elder statesman, that is the quality.

I will continue to do those things that are right to make you people proud.

Wike in the mud

Now you are talking. This is what was expected of you since and you were acting like a b1tch

The man got to power through dubious means, he should stop crying

Magnus Abe belonging in Wike's camp has sent even more shivers down the spine of Fubara. The house of assembly is an independent arm, it is not within your powers to recognize or derecognize any lawmaker, it is only the court of law that can make the pronouncement. Fubara is not facing governance, he's talking too much and might not end well for him.

They defected to APC without any reason so the governor can prosecute them through the state attorney

The issue is already in court, the court has the final say.

I'm loving my governor

I know some people will not sleep because of this statement.

Good for all

His excellency sir siminialayi fubara

Wow!!!

This is metallic.

Rubbish arrogant talk of politicians. When you went to sign a poisonous chalice as peace accord.

Oga you're not playing this game well. What does it take you to sway the majority in that house to your side? You're the chief executive nah. Use your power.

What a delusional clown. The assembly doesn't exist because you allow them, they exist because the laws of the land allow them.
This one is already a dictator. He should be impeached asap.

It's about to get hotter.

My Gee don wake up

REALLY?

I THOUGHT THEY CAN PASS A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE ON HIM AND HAVE HIM IMPEACHED?

I don't like either Fabura or Wike though...

Fubara will be impeached on or before 25th May.

He will be picked up by DSS. Those hailing him have pushed him to his doom.

I have no sympathy for him. FG will withhold his monthly allocation and also derecognize him.

He has no powers to make this pronouncements but only the courts can do and this is already in court.

Fubara, you have lost this and all those hailing you will abandon you.

Talk is cheap

Ok

No dey form innocent when you have withheld salaries of 2 local government councils for 2 months because of politics. In this hard economy release the salaries of those council workers and fight your fight stop dragging them into your fight.
But on the other side,this is a slap on the president's effort. You can be impeached and nothing will happen.

Ugbua wu ututu!

Dis man still dey fight for rivers.... I thought he said what are we struggling for?

Fight wey na 2nd tenure u suppose fight... Use first tenure work and gather your own support... U go dey fight people wey put u for position in less than a year.... U suppose sack all your advisers and personal assistants

Lion himself. I always fear people who talk-less. They're more dangerous than pythons.

Lol this governor don jogodo.

How can you make this kind of statement?

All these should not be happening in 2024. Who swear for Africa 🤦🏿‍♂️

Wow
