President Tinubu blames Fubara for pipeline explosion in Rivers

President Bola Tinubu has blamed Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, for the ongoing political crisis in the state.

Speaking during a nationwide broadcast on Tuesday, he expressed concern over the inability of political actors in Rivers State to reach an agreement and ensure peace.

The President accused the governor of demolishing the State Assembly complex and failing to rebuild it for the past 15 months.

He noted that despite interventions from himself and other stakeholders, the parties involved have been unable to reach a truce.

Tinubu further accused the governor of dismantling the legislative arm of government.

The President also referenced what he called “the latest security reports from the state,” particularly incidents of pipeline vandalism, stating that the governor had failed to address the issue.
