Fubara denies Nwaeke’s allegations, asks Nigerians to disregard them

denied allegations levelled against him by a former Head of Service (HoS) of the state George Nwaeke and asked Nigerians to disregard them.

Among the accusations Nwaeke levelled against Fubara was that of conniving with militants to blow up oil pipelines in the state amid the political crisis rocking Rivers.

But Fubara, in a statement he signed personally early Saturday,  described Nwaeke’s comments as “laughable”.

“The truth is that Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and whatever he is saying is only aimed at fulfilling his promise to those who may have paid or coerced him to lie against me,”the governor said.

“I call on all well meaning Nigerians and the good people of Rivers State to disregard everything said by Dr. Nwaeke as they are mere desperate attempts to discredit me and my administration, and undermine the peace process by Mr. President.”
