Joseph Johnson, Rivers’ Commissioner for Information and Communications has advised Political Godfathers in the State who want to model after the political dynasty of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to follow his positive principles of allowing his loyalists in elected positions to lead the people without bringing them down.
Johson spoke when he represented Governor Siminalayi Fubara at aDinner Night organised on Friday as part of the Correspondents’Chapel of the 2023 annual Week of Rivers NUJ.
The Commissioner commended journalists for their neutrality in the report of the current “Political Saga” in Rivers state.
Commenting further on the ongoing crisis, Johnson said: “Those who are copying President Bola Tinubu style should also copy the case of former Governor Ambode in Lagos. When Tinubu did not want Ambode to return as Governor of Lagos, he kept quiet and allowed him to govern Lagos but only waited patiently for him to seek the party ticket for his second tenure, and it was denied him. So if you want to copy, try and copy well.”
The Spokesperson of the Rivers State Government pointed out that the political hurdles Fubara is facing are part of the burden of leadership.
Johnson said despite the political hurdles, Fubara the people of Rivers state have shown their support which was seen at the flag off of 20,000 housing units at Mbodo, Aluu in Ikwerre Local Government Area, on Friday 15th December 2023.
