It is the truth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut because of the Supreme Court ruling that there must be elected officials to manage the affairs of local governments, as a governor, I have to obey that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt did not end there. The president, after the Supreme Court ruling, invited us and we had an understanding that we have a compliance duration of 90 days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what we are doing here is to make sure that even if my party is not participating, the local council process must stand for Rivers State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd a good number of you here are my party faithful and you are not even benefiting from it, and you are here supporting us. So, what is the problem?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank everyone of you for being very peaceful. You see, I didn\u2019t make any mistake when I said we need to follow this struggle with a different tactic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have very special egg that you are carrying, and somebody is coming to fight you, do you need to fight the person?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rivers LG election: I\u2019m the greatest loser \u2013 Fubara<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has described himself as the greatest loser in Saturday\u2019s local government election in the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5215,15,25100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fubara","category-news","category-rivers-lg-election"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
