The Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has denied viral reports that a delegation of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) and former President Olusegun Obasanjo visited him in Government House at the weekend.
A statement signed by Fubara’s Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Nelson Chukwudi, said there was a need to debunk the fake news to avoid creating erroneous impressions on the minds of gullible and unsuspecting members of the public.
The statement said: “For that reason, let it be clarified that there was no such visit by any delegation of PANDEF to Governor Fubara on the said date, neither did Chief Obasanjo visit him as claimed by our detractors.
“So, whatever the purveyors of the vexatious narratives are pushing on social media are only the imagination of enemies of the State, who do not want peace, good governance and even development that the present administration has been working hard to bequeath to the present and future generations.
“The governor has made it abundantly clear that he would comply and implement to the fullest the judgment of the Supreme Court on the political crisis in the state.
“He has already initiated processes to ensure that orders of the Apex Court are implemented, but the Rivers State House of Assembly has refused to cooperate with the Governor to facilitate the resolution of all issues raised by the Court.
“As stated earlier, the governor is ready any day, any time to do the needful to ensure the resolution of the issues and smooth functioning of all arms of government in the State.”
