Governor of Rivers state, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has warned critics against damaging political activities that paint the state in bad light.
He warned that it will eventually lead to destroying its economic fortunes.
Fubara gave the warning while on inspection of the extent of work done at the ongoing 6.5km Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinery link Road project on Tuesday.
The governor said true lovers of the state are patriotic and will not engage in damaging political activities that will chase away investors who are expected to add to the economic prosperity of the state.
“Whatever we are doing or whoever is sponsoring anything negative is not doing it to the person of Gov. Fubara, they are using it to run down the state.
“I feel that it shouldn’t always be bad news from the state. People should see the good part of our state and promote the image of our state.
“Economically, no sound and serious investor will hear all these stories and feel comfortable coming here to invest. So, we will try our best to continue to project the good side of our state.”
Commenting on the project, Governor Fubara said the contractor, Raffoul Nigeria Limited, had increased their pace and achieved commendable milestone with the promise of delivering the road within the next three months.”
