Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara has broke silence on the water-spraying and tear-gassing incident while he was on his way to the State House of Assembly Complex on Monday.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Governor Fubara was reportedly water-sprayed and tear-gassed while on his way to the State House of Assembly Complex on Monday.
Speaking shortly after the incident, the Governor accused the security agencies in the State of compromise.
“From what I have seen the security agency is even compromised. They were shooting at me directly but it doesn’t matter, somebody will die one day.
“When people here ask who is this Fubara? He is that man that was killed for his struggle. I am not against anybody. I’m not planning anything against anybody that I don’t know where these things are coming from.
“Let it be put on record that whoever masterminded this is trying to shift… I heard some people gathered to do whatever. That is purely rubbish.
“You can’t sit when there is problem and say you are doing anything. What are you doing? I’m the chief security officer. I’m the head of the government… whatever action that is taken here is null and void.
“For our good people, I know you are prayerful. You have been praying for me. God will see us to the end,” Fubara said.
