The immediate past 23 local government chairmen of Rivers State have urged the people of the state to continue to support Sir Siminalayi Fubara, who was suspended as governor by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The former LG chairmen made this appeal when they paid a solidarity visit to the suspended governor at his private residence in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, March 26, 2025.
They urged the people of the state to be more united and law-abiding in order not to give those they described as the enemies of the state the opportunity to advance their evil agenda.
