Tension in Rivers State Government House as Gov. Fubara Sacks Chief Press Secretary
Fresh tension has gripped the Rivers State Government House following the sudden dismissal of the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, a move that has further intensified the already fragile political atmosphere in the state.
Sources within the Brick House revealed that the sack letter, which reportedly came without prior warning, caught many senior aides by surprise. The development has sparked speculation about deeper disagreements within the governor’s media and communications circle.
While official details behind the CPS’s removal remain sketchy, insiders suggest the decision may be linked to recent communication lapses and growing dissatisfaction with the tone and handling of government messaging, especially amid heightened political battles in the state. Others believe the move is part of a broader restructuring as Gov. Fubara continues to consolidate power and assert full control over his administration.
Observers note that the Governor has been under intense political pressure in recent months, with internal party rifts, legislative confrontations, and tussles over local government administration shaping the state’s political narrative. The sudden change in the governor’s media team, therefore, may signal a strategic shift as the administration seeks a firmer grip on public perception.
The Government House is expected to announce a replacement soon, but the shockwaves from the dismissal have already fueled discussions among political commentators, party stakeholders, and residents who are watching the unfolding drama closely.
As Rivers State continues to navigate one of its most politically charged seasons in recent years, Gov. Fubara’s latest action adds yet another layer of intrigue to the evolving power dynamics in the state
