Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has strongly refuted claims linking him to a Niger Delta militant group and the recent explosion of oil and gas facilities in the state.
In a statement released on Monday by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, the governor dismissed the viral video making these allegations as fake and misleading.
According to the statement, communities where these supposed incidents took place have confirmed that no such explosions occurred.
Governor Fubara reaffirmed that he has no connection to any militant group and has no intention of supporting any criminal activity in Rivers State or the Niger Delta.
He emphasized his commitment to maintaining peace, stating that only a stable and secure environment can foster governance and development.
He also issued a stern warning to those trying to exploit the ongoing political crisis to create unrest, cautioning bloggers and social media users against spreading false information.

The governor urged security agencies to investigate the spread of fake videos designed to mislead the public and tarnish Rivers State’s image.
He called for swift action to hold those responsible accountable.
