We begin from the Presidency as President Bola Tinubu ordered the Nigeria Police

 Force to protect local

 government secretariats in

 Rivers State against

 incursion by arsonists and

 vandals .

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga made this known in a statement on Monday after rampaging hoodlums aggrieved with the outcome of Saturday LG poll burnt down some council secretariats in the oil-rich state.

The President urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions.

 Tinubu also  directed the police to restore and maintain peace, law, and order immediately

Reacting,Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state  in a monitored broadcast program  expressed worry over President Bola Tinubu’s mention of his name in his statement on the destruction of local government secretariats in Rivers State.

 Fubara said he does not have any issue with the President’s intervention but  a bit concerned when the president mentioned his name as he is not the cause of the violence because he is doing all to ensure peace in the state.
