The Secretary to the Government of Rivers State, SSG, Tammy Danagogo, has warned against taking the calm and peaceful approach of Governor Siminalayi Fubara for weakness.
Danagogo issued the warning following criticism from opponents of the governor, especially the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
Opponents of the governor had faulted Danagogo’s role in Fubara’s administration, especially his decision to sign the letter inviting lawmakers for a meeting with the Governor.
Meanwhile, Wike had described Danagogo’s letter as useless.
The SSG while speaking with newsmen during the commissioning of Okrika Grammar School in Okrika, argued that there was nothing wrong with the SSG writing a letter for an informal meeting.
According to him, such communication was within his official responsibilities and not an overreach of his position.
He also noted that he carried out similar duties under the former administration.
The SSG stressed that his response was not driven by political sentiment but by the need to set the record straight and counter misrepresentations.
Danagogo applauded the Governor for his restraint in the face of provocation, particularly the recent incident where the state assembly complex was locked, preventing him from presenting the budget.
