Evans Bipi, a loyalist to Governor Sim Fubara and a former Chief Whip of the Rivers State House of Assembly, has responded to allegations made by Nyesom Wike. During a grand civic reception hosted by Ijaw leaders in honor of Wike, he accused Fubara of sending some boys with dynamite to disrupt the event and he also said the police arrested the boys.
However, in a live coverage by Symfoni TV from 8:05, Bipi dismissed the claim that Fubara had sent boys with dynamite to disrupt the event. Bipi who represented Fubara at a rally organized by Simplicity Movement asked Fubara’s supporters if they believed Fubara would engage in such actions, to which they responded with a resounding “no.”
In Bipi’s words: “See what they said in their Ijaw meeting, they said they sent boys with dynamite to bomb their function. You know our governor Fubara and you know our system, can Governor Fubara do such a thing? When you want to kill a dog, you call it a bad name”
