A Frontline Social Commentator and Environmentalist in Rivers State, Dr Douglas Fabeke has cautioned state lawmakers loyal to the FCT minister against embarking on unwholesome activities to frustrate the smooth administration of governor Siminialayi Fubara.
Dr Douglas Fabeke who stated this in an interview with journalists in Port Harcourt, expressed worry that the current political tension in the state may drive away potential investors if not addressed.
Fabeke who is the African National Coordinator, United Mission For Rural and Urban Africa Community Empowerment, threatened to petition different embassies to place visa bans on politicians causing political instability in the State and appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to caution the FCT Minister from making utterances capable of heightening the political atmosphere in the state.
“The twenty-seven members who had resigned their position as a member of Rivers State House Assembly have continued to constitute political tension in the state by continuing to pass anti-people’s Bill one of which is the Bill seeking to elongate the tenure of office of the twenty-three (23) local government council Chairmen whose tenures are expected to elapse in few weeks without the views and opinions of the generality of Rivers people.
“We call on President Ahmed Tinubu to call Barrister Nyesom Wike to order. The President should not allow himself to be used by the Minister and his loyalists to cause political instability in Rivers State.
“We advise these twenty-seven members and whoever is supporting them to allow the Rivers State governor to concentrate on delivering good governance to the people of Rivers State and they should stop further action of disturbing the peace of the state”.
He however warned that if the attack on Governor Fubara is not stopped, the organization will take every necessary step that will affect the politicians involved in this crisis in the next ten (10) years.
“United Mission For Rural and Urban Africa Community Empowerment will work with the international community towards placing a visa ban on all of them and their families if this action is not stopped.
“We will also do an international profiling to blacklist any crisis actor in Rivers State”.
