Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has described himself as the most abused person in the State but has remained calm in the face of serious provocations.

He, however, urged people of the state to remain calm and allow peace to reign because he is against trouble.

The governor’s remark came on the bedrock of his rift with his predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

Fubara and Wike have been at loggerheads over the political control and resources of the state.

Amid the cold war, despite President Bola Tinubu’s intervention, the governor declared that his enemies had been defeated.

He noted that his political rivals in the state now sleep with their eyes open and are restless.

However, speaking during the flag-off of the construction of Elele-Omoku Road on Thursday, Fubara said: “As a matter of fact, I am the most abused, ‘mumu governor wey no know wetin to do with power,’ Is it not?

“Have I said anything? So, please just endure until when you finish you go your way, I don’t want any trouble.”

The governor vowed never to allow his detractors to cause political tension in the state.

Fubara disclosed assuring Tinubu that he would take the path of peace and not renege on the promise.

Nigerian-Born Kemi Badenoch Becomes New Conservative Party Leader

In a controversial move, Guinea’s junta leader has promoted himself to the rank of army general, reinforcing his authority within the nation’s military hierarchy.

Guinea’s junta leader, Mamadi Doumbouya, has promoted himself to the rank of army general as the coup-affected West African nation celebrated the establishment of its formidable armed forces.

In September 2021, at the age of 43, Doumbouya forcefully took control by ousting President Alpha Conde. Ironically, Conde had previously appointed then-Colonel Doumbouya to lead an elite unit responsible for safeguarding the head of state against such coups.

In a decree issued on Friday evening, Doumbouya—whose supporters have encouraged him to run for president once the junta relinquishes power—was also granted the Grand Cross of the National Order of the Colatier, which is the nation’s highest honor.

This was for “his unwavering efforts to foster social unity and collaboration among different communities.”

Since 2020, Doumbouya has been among several military officers who have taken control in West Africa, alongside counterparts in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

Doumbouya has overseen a continuous suppression of dissent, with numerous opposition leaders being detained, prosecuted in court, or compelled to go into exile.

Despite its abundant natural resources, Guinea continues to be a nation in poverty.

For decades, authoritarian or dictatorial governments have ruled it.
