How Tinubu used force, threatened Fubara to sign agreement — Ex-Rivers Commissioner alleges (video)

Chief David Briggs, a former Rivers State Commissioner for Works, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu placed the ‘Abuja resolution’ on Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Briggs told reporters on Wednesday that he attended the resolution meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday.

Fubara signed the resolution under pressure, according to the ex-commissioner.

He said,

“I was there, so what I say is primary not secondary. We were invited for a meeting, but that was not a meeting. What happened is that Mr President walked in with a written resolution, addressed us and declared that what he had in his hand is a presidential proclamation, therefore he can whip.

“He emphasised the fact that he is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and anybody who tends to say no to what he is saying, it has consequences. That in a simple lay man’s word is a threat. He (Tinubu) wrote the resolution but refused to read it. He handed the resolution to Dr Peter Odili to read.”
