Social commentator, Reno Omokri says President, Bola Tinubu mentioned only Gov. Sim Fubara’s name in his reaction to the political crisis in the state because he recognizes him as Chief Security Officer of the state.
Fubara had expressed concern over the mention of his name by the President, when he spoke on Channels TV few days ago.
Reacting, Omokri in a statement on Wednesday said, Fubara’s response showed that he believes he is still under the authority of someone.
According to him, Fubara is governor of the state who is responsible for maintaining law and order.
He said,“You are the Governor. The President accepts and understands that. Act like the Governor that you are. Do not be like a slave who has been freed yet still acts like a slave.”
“Governor Fubara not know that in mentioning only his name, the President is validating and recognising him as the sole custodian of the mandate of the people of Rivers and, therefore, the Chief Security Officer and person in charge of the affairs and destiny of Rivers State until 2027?
“Who else does Governor Fubara expect the President to mention? Are there more than one governor in Rivers state? By his complaint, the governor revealed his mindset, which is troubling. He has shown that he believes he is still under someone else’s authority or sharing authority with another person or persons.”
