Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has said his administration will resist any threat against the new heads of administration in the 23 local government areas of the state.
Fubara gave the assurance in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, following the expiration of the tenure of the 23 chairpersons of the councils at midnight on Monday.
He said, “The heads of administration are directed to immediately take charge of the councils and provide leadership in their respective local government areas.
“They must do this with renewed vigour and readiness to serve, while awaiting further directives as we navigate towards even greater accomplishments together.
“The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria must be upheld and law and order must be maintained as we continue to strive to provide leadership and direction for our people,” he said.
