Rivers Sole Administrator Denies Summons On Gov Fubara

The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice-Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd) has denied reports of a summons issued by his office to Governor Siminalayi Fubara to appear before a panel of enquiry.

The administrator made the denial as his office cautioned the media against fake reports he claimed were designed to mislead the public, create panic, and disrupt the peace in Rivers State. 

A statement issued by Sir Dede Sampson Friday, Permanent Secretary, Special Services Bureau, Office of the Secretary to the State Government read in part:

“One such fake announcement falsely claims that His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, the suspended Governor of Rivers State, and the Deputy Governor, Prof. Mrs. Ngozi Nma Odu, were summoned to a meeting at the Government House on Friday, April 18, 2025. 

“The Rivers State Government categorically states that this announcement is FAKE and did not originate from any official source. The public is urged to disregard this and any similar misinformation, as they are the work of troublemakers seeking to destabilize the state. 

“Official communications from the Rivers State Government are disseminated ONLY through verified channels, including:

– The Official Rivers State Government Website: www.riversstate.gov.ng 

– Authorized Government Social Media Handles: Rivers State Government (Facebook), others are being reviewed for relaunch. 

– Press releases issued by the Office of the Governor and the Secretary to the State Government.

– Approved traditional media outlets.
