Rivers Crisis: Fubara’s Chief Of Staff, Ehie Reveals Real Reason

Resource control is the cause of the political problem in Rivers State, according to Edison Ehie, the chief of staff to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Ehie made this statement on Saturday during a ceremony honoring the governor of the state’s Ahoada East Local Government Area’s win in the Supreme Court.

According to him, the issue in Rivers State arose from the desire of a select group of political figures to have sole authority over the state’s resources.

Ehie continued, cautioning that even at his young age, Fubara is capable of imparting political wisdom to his rivals.

He said: “The problem we have in the state is that 11 persons said they will control the resources of Rivers State. These 11 persons now called 20 others to allocate resources to themselves.

“We are going to teach them a lesson of political arithmetrics. What that small boy will do to you you’ll know that khaki no be leather (sic).”

After the church service, the atmosphere shifts to politics, with community leaders, women, youth groups, and loyalists from the 13 political wards dancing in support of Governor Fubara.

The highlight of the celebration was the presentation of N200,000 each to 65 small scale business owners, as well as N500,000 to each of the 13 cordinators of the Simplified Movement by the Chief of Staff.
