Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has charged the people of the State not to embark on the planned nationwide protest as it may not be the best option to the current economic situation in the country.
Governor Fubara gave the charge while addressing youths under the aegis of SIMplified Ambassadors of Rivers State who came on a solidarity rally at the Government House gate, Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
The governor who was represented by the Head of Service, Dr. George Nwaeke noted that it will not be wise to destroy existing state assets through protest as the government is making efforts to build more for the benefit of the people, adding that the admonition is not to take away their rights but a call for restraint in order to support government policies in providing solutions to the economic situation.
He tasked them to truly be ambassadors of peace by also assisting to persuade others to jettison the idea of protest to protect the state.
“Tell them to calm down, when other people plan to destroy their own house, don’t join them. We shall not destroy our own land. Every human being here is important to us . We will not be part of any development that will cause human blood,” he said.
