Speaking in Ahoada West during the commissioning of the Ahoda–Omoku Road extension, Fubara said reports suggesting he had shut out some political stakeholders were false.
Siminalayi Fubara, the Rivers State Governor, has dismissed allegations that he is sidelining members of the State House of Assembly or loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Speaking in Ahoada West during the commissioning of the Ahoda–Omoku Road extension, Fubara said reports suggesting he had shut out some political stakeholders were false.
He explained that his recent visit to President Bola Tinubu was strictly for state matters.
“There is this insinuation going around.
“I went to see the President a few days ago, but it was purely for state interest.
I have no disagreement with members of the National Assembly or with our state lawmakers,” he said.
Fubara said he had made efforts to meet with the lawmakers but was waiting for party leaders to convene the agreed reconciliation meeting.
“It was agreed that the minister, our leader, would arrange the meeting. Up till now, it has not been fixed,” he said.
He described claims that he refused to meet the lawmakers as untrue, adding that he had no reason to exclude any stakeholder.
