In a recent Channels TV interview from 4:44, former Rivers State House of Assembly member, Chidi Lloyd leveled strong criticism at Governor Siminalayi Fubara regarding the recently concluded Local Government election in Rivers State.
Lloyd asserted that Governor Fubara should be held accountable for any fallout from the election, citing the governor’s controversial statements made on national television. According to Lloyd, these comments displayed a concerning lack of regard for potential electoral unrest.
The former lawmaker expressed particular alarm over Fubara’s characterization of the political situation as his “last fight.” Lloyd suggested a possible link between this statement and recent arson incidents in the state, implying these events might be an attempt to implicate others.
In his critique, Lloyd stated, “I would say whatever becomes the outcome of the election in the state, the governor of Rivers State should be held responsible, because he had boasted on National TV that heavens won’t fall that whatever will happen, should happen.”
Lloyd further elaborated on his concerns, saying, “The governor (Fubara) said this is his last fight and you wake up to see buildings burning here, on a bid to pass aspersion to a particular person.”
These remarks from Lloyd underscore growing tensions in Rivers State politics following the Local Government election. The former assemblyman’s statements reflect broader concerns about the impact of inflammatory political rhetoric on public safety and democratic processes.
Lloyd’s interview serves as a call for more responsible leadership, emphasizing the need for political figures to prioritize the state’s stability and well-being over personal or partisan interests. As Rivers State navigates the aftermath of this election, Lloyd’s comments highlight the ongoing debate about political accountability and the role of public discourse in shaping electoral outcomes
