The media aide to the Senate President, Ken Okolugbo, has leveled accusations against Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, claiming that Fubara awarded a ₦20 billion contract to reconstruct the Rivers State House of Assembly after destroying it to evade impeachment.
While arguing that the previous governor, Nyesom Wike, has acted excessively, Okolugbo recognized the public’s views on Wike. According to popular belief, Governor Wike, the previous governor, can be quite domineering at times. He acknowledged that Wike may experience rage difficulties, but he denied ever ordering Fubara to destroy the house of assembly and then recognize just three of its members.
Additionally, the aide blasted Governor Fubara for his behavior after the court proceedings ended.
He went on to defend President Tinubu, saying that the president had not used the term “despot” to describe Fubara in his inaugural address. His main point was that the president was merely paraphrasing the Supreme Court’s description of Governor Fubara as a dictator.

Last but not least, Okolugbo stressed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s remarks are misrepresented by those who wish to criticize the fact that he took steps to avert the impending crisis. He went on to say that the president must have known what would happen in the state in the case of Fubara’s impeachment because he was privy to security information.
