Activist and community leader, Ann-Kio Briggs, has spoken out strongly in defence of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, following his recent move from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). During an interview from 5:53 with News Central TV, Briggs addressed the wave of insults and negative comments directed at the governor since his defection.
Briggs argued that no one has the right to call Fubara a “fool” or “mumu” simply because he made a political decision some people do not like. According to her, every leader has the right to choose the path they believe is best, and differences in opinion should not lead to name-calling or disrespect.
She explained that only time will show whether Fubara’s choice to join the APC benefits him and, more importantly, the people he governs. Briggs stressed that the future will judge this decision, not the heated reactions happening today.
She also made it clear that the people of Rivers State have the power to speak up if a leader’s decisions go against their interests. As someone who has always defended the rights of her people, Briggs said she would not hesitate to voice her concerns if Fubara’s new political direction harms the state.
In her words, “Fubara, as I have said, is not a fool, and all these people going ahead calling him names, if I were him, I would be very offended. You can’t just continue to be calling a man a fool, a mumu just because he has decided to make a decision.” View, More,
