Fubara Expresses Weakness After Sacking Commissioners

Governor Sim Fubara of River State revealed his feelings of weakness during a speech at the New Telegraph award dinner. He stated that his desire for peace in the state has led him to adopt a softer stance, driven by the need to maintain stability and safeguard the collective interests of the people.

Fubara explained that his recent decisions, including the sacking of commissioners and special advisers, were influenced by political disputes and the second intervention of President Bola Tinubu to resolve these issues. During the event, Fubara dedicated an award to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), whom he referred to as "oga," indicating a respectful acknowledgment of the minister's role.
