Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has revealed that some individuals are desperately trying to halt the the upcoming local government elections, scheduled for October 5, because they fear the emergence of a new political structure that will not be controlled by any single person or group.

Governor Fubara made the revelation while receiving leaders and members of The Simplicity Movement, led by Chief Sobomabo Jackrich, also known as Egberipapa.

The governor also declared that the elections mark the beginning of the state’s liberation.

According to Fubara, these polls will usher in a new political structure, providing an opportunity for the people to witness rebirth and transformation.

He said: “Our journey is just starting. We are preparing for the election on October 5. I want you to participate actively in that election. “That election is going to be the turnaround.

That election is the rebirth of a new and strong structure that doesn’t belong to anybody; and you can see that that is why they are running everywhere to stop it.”
