Exploring Gov Fubara’s View: State Resource Control and Rivers Political Turmoil
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has identified the struggle for control over state resources as a primary driver of political crises within the state.
Fubara highlighted that the intense competition for power and resources among political figures often leads to tensions, which can manifest as instability and internal conflicts.
This issue of resource control has been a longstanding challenge in Rivers, a state with significant oil wealth.
Fubara emphasized the need for responsible governance and equitable distribution of resources to foster unity and reduce political strife.
His administration is reportedly working on measures to address these challenges, aiming to prioritize development, transparency, and accountability in resource management to reduce friction within the political landscape.
Fubara’s remarks underscore a broader issue in Nigerian politics, where resource control and regional wealth often create competition that can lead to divisions, highlighting the importance of balanced governance in ensuring stability.
