Youth Leaders Demand Commissioner’s Apology To Gov Fubara 

The Rivers State Ethnic Youth Leaders Coalition, have called on the Commissioner for Special Projects, Chief Chukwuemeka Woke to apologize to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, over his alleged uncomplimentary remarks against the current administration in the state.

The youth leaders, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday, also called on Governor Fubara to exercise discernment and decisiveness in addressing disloyalty within his cabinet.

The statement, which was signed the group’s chairman, Dr. Legborsi Yamaabana, stated that the interests of the state and its citizens must always take precedence over personal agendas and political machinations.

It reads in part: “The hallowed halls of governance demand a steadfast commitment to the principles of integrity, loyalty, and service to the people. Emeka Woke’s egregious behavior, compounded by his history of resignation followed by an unrepentant return, underscores a dangerous trend of self-interest and disregard for public good.

“We implore the Governor, His Excellency Sir Siminalayi Fubara to exercise discernment and decisiveness in addressing disloyalty within his cabinet. The interests of Rivers State and its citizens must always take precedence over personal agendas and political machinations,” the group said.

It further demanded a retraction and apology from the Commissioner without delay to the governor and government of the Rivers State.

“We demand that Emeka Woke retract his egregious remarks without delay and issue a sincere apology to Governor Fubara and the government of Rivers State. His refusal to do so will only magnify his blatant betrayal of the Governor Fubara’s administration, an affront that cannot be overlooked or tolerated,” the group said.

The youth leaders lauded former Rivers State Governor and elder statesman, Dr. Peter Odili, for his unflinching support for the Fubara-led administration and the collective aspirations of Rivers people.

“As the political landscape evolves, let us heed the call for unity, accountability, and dedication to the advancement of Rivers State. Together, we shall navigate the challenges ahead and forge a path towards a brighter, more prosperous future for all,” the youth leaders said.
