The Rivers State Chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), have condemned Governor Siminalayi Fubara for withholding funds meant for the Local Governments.
Speaking on behalf of the group during a press parley in Port Harcourt, the Chairman of Port Harcourt LGA, Allwell Ihunda, accused the governor of withholding allocations meant for the LGAs since April, and March in the case of Emohua.
He further alleged that the governor was intending to dip his hands into the LGA funds.
They called on President Tinubu to call Governor Fubara to order, to forestall a total breakdown of law and order in Rivers State.
During the question and answer session, however, the Chairman of Andoni LGA, said he would remain in office for 6 months after the expiration of his tenure, as permitted under the amended Local Government law.
