Disrupt Fubara’s Supreme Court Victory Rally
Reports say a rally to celebrate the Supreme Court victory of Governor SiminalayiFubara of Rivers State in Ahoada West Local Government Area has witnessed a near crisis situation, as some youths alleged to be acting on the order of the Council Chairman, vandalised canopies and chairs at the initial venue set for the rally.
According to reports, the program was moved to another location
where the Council Chairman later appeared to clear the air on the allegation,
while the rally was held successfully thereafter.
Despite the attempt by thugs to disrupt the programme by
vandalising canopies and chairs at an initial venue, event’s attendance was
impressive, with past and serving lawmakers and commissioners and the
representative of the Governor also attending.
The leader of Governor Fubara’s supporters in Ahoada West
and one of the four Assembly members loyal to him, SokariGoodboy, urged the
presidency and the police high command to take note of the provocative action.
Also, Governor Fubara’s representative, a former Chief
Whip of the State House of Assembly, Evans Bipi, advised the crowd not to be
intimidated by rumours that they are to be suspended from the PDP, among other
threats.
The supporters also received defectors from opposition
party into the People’s Democratic Party to back Governor Fubara.
