A former Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dr Austin Tam-George, has said Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress is aimed at ensuring stability and accelerating development in the state.
Speaking in an interview with Arises News on Saturday, Tam-George said the governor’s decision aligns with his governance doctrine, which prioritises the people’s interests.
“You know, Governor Fubara has a governance doctrine in Rivers State around the notion of putting the people’s interests first. In fact, the governance doctrine is called reverse first.
“So my thinking is that what he’s doing by moving from the PDP to the APC is to align more perfectly with the federal authorities to make sure that what is due to the reverse support comes to them,” he said.
Tam-George added that Fubara also seeks critical stability in the state after a turbulent period in office.
“Because over the past two years or so, Governor Fubara had had a very turbulent time in government. And so what I think he’s done is to say, look, this is not about me.
“This is about making sure we have stability, because only in the atmosphere of peace and stability can you expect that he is going to be able to deliver on the promise that he made to the reverse people,” he said.The former commissioner said the governor is committed to sector-by-sector development, including education and healthcare.
