Some youths in Rivers State have warned Governor Siminalayi
Fubara against recalling the commissioners that resigned from his
administration.
They also warned the governor against re-presenting the 2024
budget to the House of Assembly.
The youths, who protested in large numbers in Port Harcourt
on Friday, said they will occupy the Government House if the governor fail to
heed the warning.
Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, on Monday evening agreed to end the political crisis rocking the state.
The agreement was reached after President Bola Tinubu and
other stakeholders met with the two warring factions.
But political analysts and observers believe that the
agreement brokered by the President is one-sided and favours the Minister of
the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Wike.
Protesting in Port Harcourt on Friday, the Rivers youths
urged Fubara to dump the agreement.
“We’re calling on the governor not to recall any
Commissioner. Any attempt to recall any Commissioner, we’ll occupy the
Government House,” the protesting youths hammered.
“Nyesom Wike did not vote for Sim alone. We also voted for
Sim. We’ll not allow anybody, anybody all to truncate the will of Rivers
people.
“So we’re calling on the Governor, don’t be under any
pressure from anybody. We want to call on the Governor, don’t return the budget
to the Assembly.
“The Rivers State House of Assembly has only one Speaker
recognised by the law which is Edison Ehie. And as such, the seats of the 27
lawmakers are vacant. We want to call on the Governor, we voted for you and you
must listen to us, Tinubu is not from Rivers State,” a leader of the protesting
youths said.
