Negative Political Activities Will Not Harm Me – Fubara Warns Detractors

The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has warned those engaging in damaging political activities in the state to desist from such.

He insisted that those indulging in such activities would end up chasing investors from the state.

He warned that those against his government are not harming him, but actually destroying the state’s investment potential.

Fubara gave the warning on Tuesday while inspecting the progress of work at the ongoing construction of the 6.5km Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinery Link Road project.

Speaking via a statement by his special assistant media, Boniface Onyedi, the governor asserted that true lovers of the state are patriotic and would not engage in damaging political activities that would chase away investors.

He said: “Whatever we are doing or whoever is sponsoring anything negative is not doing it to the person of Gov. Fubara, they are using it to run down the State.

“I feel that it shouldn’t always be bad news from the State. People should see the good part of our State and promote the image of our State.

“Economically, no sound and serious investor will hear all these stories and feel comfortable coming here to invest. So, we will try our best to continue to project the good side of our State.”

Commenting on the project, Fubara said the contractor, Raffoul Nigeria Limited, had increased their pace and achieved commendable milestones with the promise of delivering the road within the next three months.

“We were here about two months ago to follow up on the commitment of the construction firm and we decided to visit again today to see what they have done and I can say that we are really impressed”, he said.
