Rivers State Drama: No Court Order Stopping Sole Administrator, Says Govt

Government Speaks: Denies Claims Against Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas

Let me set the record straight. The Rivers State Government has strongly denied allegations that a court order is preventing Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, the newly appointed Sole Administrator, from taking up his duties. These claims have been labeled as false and intentionally misleading. The government issued a statement Thursday to clear the air and calm rising tensions.

In a candid statement, Edison Ehie, the Chief of Staff to the suspended governor, Siminalayi Fubara, addressed the swirling rumors. He didn’t mince words when calling out the allegations as baseless and politically motivated. According to Ehie, these false narratives are being spread by individuals with ulterior motives, aiming to escalate an already tense political climate in the state.

Setting the Record Straight: Edison Ehie Speaks Up

Ehie went on to clarify that he personally did not file any lawsuit challenging the appointment of Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas. In fact, he described the reports as the work of "low minds" who can't even spell his name right. That’s a pretty bold statement, but it shows just how frustrated he is with the misinformation being spread.

He urged the public to ignore these claims and assured everyone that he remains law-abiding and committed to maintaining decorum. It’s clear that Ehie wants to avoid being seen as a troublemaker, especially during these sensitive times.

Here’s What the Statement Really Said

The statement was direct and left no room for misinterpretation. It read, “My attention has been drawn to an obvious fake news being spread on social media by delusional minds, who are bent on continuing to aggravate the already tensed political atmosphere in the state, to the effect that I secured ‘an order’ from the Rivers State High Court ‘preventing the Sole Administrator’ Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), ‘from resuming duties’ in Government House, Port Harcourt.”

“The malicious post claimed that the alleged order was granted in a fictitious suit I purportedly filed challenging ‘the Presidential Pronouncement of State of Emergency in Rivers State’ as ‘unconstitutional’.”

“Ordinarily, I would not have reacted to this empty social media rant by low-minds and never-do-wells who thrive on fomenting trouble and causing disaffection among the people of the state, but to save the gullible public from buying into this cheap blackmail and misinformation, and believing same to be true.”

“The truth is that even the author is so uneducated and illiterate that he or she cannot correctly spell my name, or the names of others he or she claims to be writing about, or even the suit number and when it was filed or heard.”

“It is important to advise the general public and particularly the good people of Rivers State to discountenance this baseless, false and malicious post, as it is intended to create bad blood among the people while painting me as a non-conformist.”

“I have since decided to be law-abiding and conduct my affairs peacefully in accordance with the law, holding strong to my faith and God, and has no intention to act in any way that will present me as a disruptor.”

Final Thoughts: No Suit, No Order

Ehie was firm in stating that there is no court order or lawsuit to stop the Sole Administrator from resuming office. He reiterated that he has no intention of disrupting governance in the state. Instead, he wants to focus on peace and order, ensuring that the state moves forward without unnecessary drama or division.

So there you have it. The Rivers State Government is doing its best to clear the air and prevent misinformation from spreading further. Let’s hope that cooler heads prevail and the state can continue on a path of stability and progress.
