Rivers administrator: I didn’t summon Fubara, deputy

The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd), has denied summoning suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, to a meeting at the Government House.

A statement purportedly issued by the Rivers State Government had quoted Ibas as summoning Fubara and his deputy to a meeting at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Friday, April 18, 2025.

The Permanent Secretary of the Special Service Bureau, Office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Sampson Friday, in a statement on Wednesday, April 16, said the summon was fake and did not originate from any official source.

Friday described the announcement as “malicious fabrication designed to mislead the public and create panic in the state.”

He urged the public to disregard the fake announcement and any similar misinformation, saying they were the work of trouble makers seeking to destabilise Rivers State.

Friday also advised the public to verify information before sharing, urging them to rely solely on official government sources for accurate updates.

Friday advised that further clarification should be made at the Office of the Secretary to the State Government.
