Rivers LG election: I’m the greatest loser – Fubara
Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has described himself as the greatest loser in Saturday’s local government election in the state.
Fubara explained that he would lose out because his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is not participating in Saturday’s local government election in the state.
The governor spoke while addressing Rivers Political Stakeholders at Government House in Port Harcourt.
He, however, expressed the determination of his administration to support the cause of sustainable democracy in the state.
Fubara also vowed that he won’t tolerate confusion or any attempt to cause instability in the state during the election.
According to Fubara: “You know this election, I am the greatest loser because my party is not participating. It is the truth.
“But because of the Supreme Court ruling that there must be elected officials to manage the affairs of local governments, as a governor, I have to obey that.
“It did not end there. The president, after the Supreme Court ruling, invited us and we had an understanding that we have a compliance duration of 90 days.
“So what we are doing here is to make sure that even if my party is not participating, the local council process must stand for Rivers State.
“And a good number of you here are my party faithful and you are not even benefiting from it, and you are here supporting us. So, what is the problem?
“I want to thank everyone of you for being very peaceful. You see, I didn’t make any mistake when I said we need to follow this struggle with a different tactic.
“If you have very special egg that you are carrying, and somebody is coming to fight you, do you need to fight the person?”

The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has said that Starlink’s recent upward review of its subscription packages was implemented without prior approval from the Commission.
The Director, Public Affairs of NCC, Reuben Muoka, said this in a brief statement on Tuesday.
He said the decision by Starlink to unilaterally review their subscription packages upwards did not receive the approval of the NCC.
The Director also added that the action of the company was in contravention of Sections 108 and 111 of the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003, and Starlink’s License Conditions regarding tariffs.
Mouka said that the Commission commenced pre-enforcement action on the licensee on the 3rd of October, 2024
“The company’s decision to adjust its prices without approval undermines regulatory stability in the telecommunications sector.
“We will take appropriate enforcement measures against any such actions by licensees,” he said.
