In a desperate and poorly orchestrated attempt to frame Governor Siminialayi Fubara, the Head of Service (HoS) has peddled an outrageous claim that the Governor personally financed the bombing of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex. However, after a deep investigative dive into available evidence, it is clear that this accusation is not just baseless but part of a grand political conspiracy aimed at discrediting the Governor.

The HoS alleges that Governor Fubara handed money to his Chief of Staff, Hon. Edison, to fund Hon. Ihunwo Chijioke for the execution of an attack on the Assembly complex. But where is the proof? Where is the surveillance footage? Where are the transaction records, call logs, or eyewitness testimonies beyond this singular, unsubstantiated statement? In a world where every corner of government premises is monitored, it is absurd that such a bold claim is backed by nothing but the words of an individual whose credibility is now under serious scrutiny.

Investigative analysis of relevant messages linked to the claim paints a completely different picture. The content reveals a pattern of administrative discussions, governance concerns, and, most notably, a HoS seeking financial security and personal reassurances. Nowhere in the retrieved communications is there any reference—explicit or implicit—suggesting an orchestrated act of violence by the Governor or his associates.

If the HoS was truly in possession of damning evidence, why has it taken this long for him to speak? Why does his narrative suddenly emerge at a politically convenient moment when adversaries are actively seeking to derail Governor Fubara’s administration? The timing raises more red flags than the accusation itself.

The extracted messages also paint a picture of a Head of Service consumed by personal ambitions and desperation. Records show that he consistently sought financial aid and professional backing. Could this be a man who, failing to secure his desired support, resorted to fabricating a scandal to serve the interests of those who promised him something better?

Credible insiders within government circles confirm that the HoS has long been a pawn in a larger political chess game. His sudden claims come at a time when Governor Fubara’s progressive policies are disrupting the entrenched power structures in the state. Those who stand to lose from these reforms have resorted to desperate tactics, and unfortunately, the HoS seems to have willingly played along.

This is not just an attack on Governor Fubara; it is an attack on democracy, governance, and the people of Rivers State. The Governor’s tenure has been marked by infrastructural growth, economic revitalization, and an unwavering commitment to transparency. His refusal to bow to political godfathers has made him a target, and this latest fabrication is just another bullet in the arsenal of those who wish to see his government fall.

Anyone following the political landscape in Rivers State knows that this is nothing but an old script rewritten with new characters. The same forces that have resisted progress are now deploying their cronies to launch baseless allegations in an attempt to destabilize the administration. The HoS’s claims are nothing more than a smokescreen to divert attention from the real saboteurs of democracy.

Governor Siminialayi Fubara has no history of violence, criminality, or anti-democratic behavior. He has always upheld due process, the rule of law, and peaceful governance. If there were even a fragment of truth in these allegations, proper legal channels would have been pursued, not cheap media propaganda.

This is an era where truth must stand against deception. The people of Rivers State must not be fooled by a drowning man clutching at straws. Governor Fubara remains focused on his mission to deliver good governance, and no amount of political blackmail will change that.

The HoS has chosen the path of treachery, but history will not be kind to those who attempt to obstruct progress with lies. The law will take its course, and justice will ultimately prevail—against the real conspirators.
