The Governor of Rivers State, Mr Siminilaye Fubara, has been accused of evoking ethnic sentiments, employing coercion, and using diversionary tactics to mislead the public.
This accusation was made by a group known as the Rivers Democratic Vanguard (RDV) through a statement signed by its president, Mr Tamunotonye Ibiba; and the secretary, Mr John Igwegbe.
They raised concerns over the governance approach of Mr Fubara, charging him to choose the path of honour by prioritising excellence over mediocrity.
In the statement, RDV said it would hold the state government accountable as regards the use of allocation of federal funds.
The organisation said it would empower the public to evaluate the Governor’s performance and counteract the influence of sponsored agents who divert attention from scrutinising the government.
It urged the public to scrutinise the Governor’s performance in light of federal allocations over the past six months totalling over N150 billion with no visible and verifiable projects commensurate with funds accrued from the Federation Account and the internally generated revenue.
