Rivers State governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has presented Certificates of Recognition and Staff of Office to former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, and three others as newly recognised traditional rulers in the state.


Dokubo-Asari was presented with a certificate and staff of office as the Amanyanabo of Torusarama Piri in Degema local government area of the state.

Others are HRM, Winston Odize Alamina Oputibeya XII, as the Amanyanabo of Koniju in Okrika local government area; HRM Eze Noble Friday Uwo as the Eze Igbu-Ehuda (Ahoada) IV in Ahoada-East local hovernment area and HRH Prince Ike Ehie as the Eze Igbu Orilukwoe in Ahoada-East local government area of the state.

Presenting the certificates and staff of office to the four new traditional rulers at Government House, Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Governor Fubara urged them not to see their new positions as tool for personal aggrandizement, rather they should see it as a call for service and responsibility to help government protect lives and property in their respective domains.


The governor said: “Let me first of all, on behalf of the government, congratulate the four of you. It has not been an easy journey to get to this point. I know a lot of you have been working very hard to ensure the success of this day. Your appointment in of this recognition is not for personal aggrandizement, but a call for service, a responsibility to help us protect lives and property in your domains.”

He stated that though government has the power to withdraw the recognition from any traditional ruler found wanting, Fubara quickly added that it was not his intention to exercise such authority, and warned them not to use the privileged positions to create problems in their domains, but forces with government to ensure the success of the istration in it’s avowed commitment to deliver dividends of democracy to the people.

Fubara said, “I don’t want you to see this elevation as another platform to create problems in your locality. We have the power to still withdraw the recognition, but I don’t intend to do that. So, I want you to be partners with the government to ensure that we continue to succeed.

“I know that you are all men of integrity. the course of governance so that we can all succeed together. It is really a privileged position, and I am very sure that you are going to use it to the best of the interest of your people.”

In his opening remarks, the State’s Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Engr. Charles Amadi, said the newly recognised traditional rulers include two royal majesties and two royal highnesses, and commended Fubara for adding into the number of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers.

Nigeria is the last remaining major Western strong hold in West Africa. If Nigeria manages to fall into the hands of an Anti- western government, just like Niger, Chad and the others have fallen, mark my words, that would be the end of Neocolonialism and Western imperialism in West Africa. And that is also when people will begin to understand that all these useless terrorist groups are backed by the west because they'll be dealt with very, very, quickly.

What's all the costume for?

The lion

Ok

Himmm

Fubara is in charge

The structure taking shape

a

Wait o, I don't just get it. Or maybe I am missing something: what is Asari Dokubo's relevance, importance, or contributions to the barrage of challenges confronting this country?

If not thuggery, violence, militancy, etc, what does Asari have to offer Rivers State?

Another Governor is already setting his structure too.

Ok o

Fubara strengthening those who can face Wike and at the same time making himself stronger

Fubara the idiot is empowering militants just because he's looking for to fight Wike

This man na clown

Trying to make way for 2027

This is pure politics play! So those of you blaming Fubara for the appointment are too docile and myopic. We all know Akpabio but today he's the no3 citizen so wtf? Politics is a dirty game of survival..........

Kudos to Gov. Sim fubara as anything to clear wike's doubt is welcome 🤗

He is wearing a pickelhaube.

Fat masquerade

I won't blame Fubara for crowing a known criminal with chieftaincy title. Wike also crowned Ateke Tom with chieftaincy title while he was governor of Rivers State.

It's all about political interests. Where criminals are becoming traditional rulers through political office holders, then the land has truly gone to the dogs.

Surely fight is coming, hence the need to get ready

That crap on his head is not a crown but a Prussian soldier helmet straight from the days of Otto von Bismarck.....These people will appropriate dog sh*t from the white man, just to project importance in their village..
