Resignation of commissioners under Gov Fubara good omen to liberate Rivers –SYA

The Southern Youth Assembly (SYA) the umbrella body of youth organisations in the 17 southern states of the country, has said that the recent resignation of some commissioners in Rivers State is an “act of God”.

The forum said this on Sunday in Abuja in a statement by its Co-Chairmen, Comrade Jack Okpobiri Ofili, Dr. Oluwasanmi Ayoola, and Chief Mbanefo Okoye.

They said the resignation of the commissioners, who claimed to be loyal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and not to the Rivers people, was part of God’s plan to liberate the state.

“With the resignation of the commissioners and other disloyal appointees, Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration was being purged of internal saboteurs and assuming a better position to deliver more democratic dividends to Rivers people.

“As a forum that has been carefully following events in the state, we see this as God’s plan to liberate the state. It is an open secret that the commissioners who recently tendered their resignations are loyal to the FCT Minister and not to the government and people of Rivers State. Most of them shamefully resigned after their dangerous plots to internally sabotage Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration and destabilise the state failed.

“They thought their resignations would stir a political crisis in the state and distract Governor Fubara more, but it has turned out to be a blessing. It is good news for Rivers people because a commissioner is to interpret the principles and policies of the governor.

“So having a rebellious commissioner would gravely affect the quality of governance. Their resignations have purged the Fubara’s administration of internal saboteurs and it is now better positioned to deliver more democratic dividends to Rivers people,” they said.

They noted that the governor did not sack or pressurised any commissioner to resign, as they all resigned knowing that they had been rejected by the people after their treacherous plots against the state were exposed by divine intervention.
