A fresh wave of controversy has emerged in Rivers State after a video surfaced online showing the newly appointed administrator of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Dr. Clifford Ndu Walter, personally dismantling a billboard bearing the image of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The footage, which began circulating on social media on Saturday, reportedly shows Dr. Walter at the Obio/Akpor LGA secretariat, leading the physical removal of the billboard just 24 hours after his appointment.
Dr. Walter is one of the new administrators installed under the leadership of Ibok-Ete Ibas, who was appointed as the sole administrator of Rivers State following the controversial suspension of Governor Fubara by President Bola Tinubu in March. Ibas’s interim administration is expected to last for six months.
Since assuming office, Ibas has initiated sweeping changes across the state, including the suspension of Fubara’s loyalists and the appointment of new local government heads in all 23 LGAs.
