Gov. Fubara Stands Boldly: “I Am Not Scared Of Anything”

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has reassured his supporters that he is not afraid of anything following the Supreme Court’s ruling that the faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to former Governor Nyesom Wike is the legitimate assembly. In his statement, Fubara emphasized his confidence and lack of fear despite the ruling.

Other major stories making the rounds include Catholic bishops urging the Federal Government to halt plans to close schools in some northern states as Ramadan approaches. Meanwhile, the crisis in the Lagos State House of Assembly appears to have been resolved with the return of Mudashiru Obasa as speaker and Mojisola Meranda as deputy speaker.
