In an interview on SYMFONI from 12:43 , activist Ann Kio-Briggs voiced strong concerns regarding the political situation in Rivers State, particularly the anticipated return of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
She expressed skepticism about the political arrangements being planned and their possible impact on Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the people of Rivers.
Kio-Briggs revealed that Wike had made his intentions clear, saying, “FCT minister has informed us that he is coming back on the 18th.”
However, she argued that his return may not bode well for the current administration in the state.
According to her, the supposed “package” expected to be delivered to Governor Fubara is unlikely to support his leadership or promote the interests of the state.
In her words, “I don’t believe for one second that whatever package is going to be handed over to Fubara as a governor is any way going to be in his favor. Definitely not in the favour of Rivers people.”
Her remarks underscore the deepening political rift between loyalists of the current governor and allies of the former governor, now FCT Minister.
Kio-Briggs emphasized that the people of Rivers State should be wary of political maneuvers that could undermine their collective welfare.
She warned that decisions taken outside the will of the people often result in governance challenges and political instability.
Furthermore, she stressed that any arrangement that does not directly benefit the people should be rejected.
Her position reflects the growing concern among Rivers indigenes who fear that national-level politics may continue to overshadow the state’s autonomy.
She called for vigilance and unity among Rivers citizens to resist any form of political imposition that may compromise their development and democratic rights….CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>
