The suspended Governor of Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara, has absolved himself of any blame for the explosion of oil pipelines in that state, which prompted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on Tuesday.
Fubara said that the lack of adequate information to the Presidency by those tasked with the responsibility of providing same to guide decision-making, was why the President acted the way he did.
Recall that Tinubu openly blamed Fubara for doing nothing to dissuade criminal groups and militants from making good their threats to attack oil installations in that State.
The President also claimed that after demolishing the Hallowed Chambers of the State House of Assembly on Moscow Road in Port Harcourt, the Governor did nothing to rebuild the facility.
