I Did Not Meet With PANDEF, Obasanjo – Fubara Says

…Debunked reports to the contrary

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has described a post circulating on social media, claiming that a delegation of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), and former President Olusegun Obasanjo paid him solidarity visits in Government House on Sunday, March 16, 2025, as totally false and malicious.

Fubara said the stories were planted by some people bent on causing chaos and anarchy in the State

These were contained in a statement by Nelson Chukwudi, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Rivers State, in which the Governor said that he would not have responded to the spurious claims and obvious fake news on social media, but for the erroneous impression they may create on the minds of gullible and unsuspecting members of the public, and indeed, well-meaning Rivers’ people.

He said; “For that reason, let it be clarified that there was no such visit by any delegation of PANDEF to Governor Fubara on the said date, neither did Chief Obasanjo visit him as claimed by our detractors.

“So, whatever the purveyors of the vexatious narratives are pushing on social media are only the imagination of enemies of the State, who 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,” Fubara said.

The Governor reiterated that he would comply and implement, to the fullest, the judgment of the Supreme Court on the political crisis in the State, stressing that he haas already initiated processes to ensure that orders of the apex Court are implemented.

He however, explained that the Rivers State House of Assembly has refused to cooperate with him to facilitate the resolution of all issues raised by the Supreme Court.

The statement further said that Governor Fubara 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.
