The governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara has urged traditional rulers to come together and ensure that there is stability and unfettered progress in Nigeria.
He pleaded with the monarchs to take charge of their domains and ensure that they make life difficult for youths involved in acts of economic sabotage in their various communities.
Fubara gave the charge while declaring open the 117th/118th Combined Quarterly General Meeting of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers at their Secretariat in Port Harcourt on Monday.
This was contained in a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi.
The governor insisted that it is the job of everyone to support Nigeria’s progress as a stable economy.
He said, “I want to see a different society from this hour. The Federal Government is doing everything to see that our crude oil production level increases. But every day, we are having issues of illegal bunkering and pipeline vandalisation and all the associated problems.
“All these people that are carrying out these evil acts, they’re not coming from the moon, they live in our communities, we know them. I am charging this council, as a first step, to take charge of your communities.
“If there is any information that you need to share with us, share with us. The overall, we need our country to progress. We need our country to be stable. We need our country to grow economically. It is through only one means: our oil production.”
The governor insisted, “We are charging you, to please go back and take charge of your communities. I assure you of our support. If there is anything that we need to do, if it means the government sending you some little support financially to create your own vigilante to help, we will do it.”
