BREAKING: Rivers State highly in debt – Gov Fubara reveals

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has exposed the staggering debt inherited from the previous administration, setting tongues wagging and sparking a political storm in the region.

During the grand commissioning of the Aleto-Ogale-Ebubu-Eteo Road, Governor Fubara dropped the bombshell, disclosing that the state is drowning in debt, contrary to claims of a debt-free legacy by former Governor Nyesom Wike. The rift between Fubara and Wike intensifies, with accusations flying and tensions soaring.

Despite attempts at reconciliation, including interventions from President Bola Tinubu, the political feud rages on, casting a shadow over the governance landscape of Rivers State.

Fubara’s bold assertion of the truth sends shockwaves, as he unveils the financial quagmire left behind, with contractors clamoring for outstanding payments on incomplete projects. The governor vows transparency, promising a detailed account of the debt burden, shedding light on the state’s precarious financial predicament.

In a strategic move, Fubara invites Abia State counterpart, Alex Otti, to inaugurate the project, signaling solidarity with progressive forces. Otti lauds Fubara’s leadership, emphasizing service to the people over vested interests, amidst the tumultuous political climate.
