According to a report from The Guardian Newspaper on Wednesday, February 19, The political landscape in Rivers State is becoming increasingly fraught as allegations of financial misconduct surface against Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Martin Amaewhule, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, has emerged as a vocal critic, accusing Fubara of mismanaging state funds.
During a recent solidarity visit from the National Assembly Caucus of Rivers State, Amaewhule did not hold back in his condemnation. He stated, “The governor spends Rivers money as if it belongs to him and his family,” highlighting what he perceives as a blatant disregard for public resources. His concerns reflect a growing unease among citizens regarding governance and transparency in the state.
Amaewhule’s accusations center on the governor’s alleged financial recklessness. He expressed deep concern over the apparent misuse of public funds, warning that such actions could severely undermine public trust in the government. “State funds should be treated as resources for the collective development of the people, not personal assets,” he emphasized.
The Speaker assured constituents that these financial dealings would not go unchecked. “We will conduct a thorough review of the governor’s spending habits,” Amaewhule declared, raising the prospect of legislative intervention. He added, “The financial activities of the governor will be in the spotlight in the coming days and weeks.”
Amaewhule’s remarks resonate with the growing demand for accountability in Rivers State. He urged fellow lawmakers to take the allegations seriously, stating, “It is our duty to ensure that public funds are managed with integrity and transparency.”
