The Rivers State Government on Tuesday reiterated the call to the state House of Assembly to cooperate with Governor Siminalayi Fubara to implement the rulings of the Supreme Court.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nelson Chukwudi, made the remark in a statement in Port Harcourt.

According to Mr Chukwudi, the governor made it clear that he would comply and implement to the fullest the judgement of the Supreme Court on the political crisis rocking the state.

He said that Mr Fubara had already initiated processes to ensure that orders of the apex court were implemented.

He noted that the assembly, led by Martins Amaewhule, refused to cooperate with him to facilitate the resolution of the issues raised by the court.

Mr Chukwudi said, “As stated earlier, the governor is ready any day, any time, to do the needful to ensure the resolution of the issues and smooth functioning of all arms of government in the state.’’

He described as false the malicious post circulating on social media claiming that a delegation of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum paid a solidarity visit to the governor in Government House on Sunday, March 16.

Mr Chukwudi said that there was another post alleging that the former President Olusegun Obasanjo paid a visit to the governor in Port Harcourt.

According to him, the government will not have responded to the claims and obvious fake news on social media, but for the erroneous impression they may create in the minds of unsuspecting members of the public.

He urged the public to disregard the false publications, adding that it was the handiwork of detractors.

He stated, “Whatever the purveyors of the vexatious narratives are pushing on social media are only imaginations of enemies of the state. They do not want peace, good governance and even development that the present administration has been working hard to bequeath to the present and future generations. This is planted by some people bent on causing chaos and anarchy in the state.’’
