Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State faced intense backlash from EndBadGovernance protesters at the Port Harcourt Government House on Thursday following his offering of pure water money to them.

His offer of money for pure water and a plea for the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria demonstrators to return home fueled their anger.

While addressing the protesters in front of Government House, Fubara said, “I thank you for being peaceful. I thank you for coming. I feel your pain. I want to assure you that I will deliver your message to the President.

“Here in Rivers State, we will do everything to make life better. But all we need from you is to support the Federal Government. We know there is hunger but just be patient with the government.

“I will give you a small thing for you to drink pure water.”

At this point the youths who were listening busted with a chorused, ‘No no, saying “We don’t need your, ‘ keep your money, we want good governance in Nigeria’, Tinubu must go.”

Efforts by the governor to pacify them and to explain what he meant fell on deaf ears, as they continued to talk back with annoyance.

Fubara however continued to wave his hands towards them and came down from where he stood in front of the government house and left.

Man messed up badly
He's shown he doesn't understand how to talk to irate crowd
Kudos to the Rivers protesters for rejecting his money
He'll learn going forward not to take people for granted

Why do you think Wike refused him making statement during the campaign period? Fubara cant hold the microphone for three minutes without spewing balderdash.
Pure water money like he is addressing his village men or kinsmen.

He actually made statements during campaign
Stop following the lying crowd like a zombie
It's obvious he thought he was addressing those anti-protest protesters who are usually paid stipend by politicians to carry out the job

Are you sure you aren't following Fubara like a zombie?

Noo. Are you following Wike like a zombie

Wike is intellectually ahead of Fubara. Anyone who follows them as well falls into this disparity as well.

It takes a man with great IQ to figure out what sim did there

Sim : be patient with Mr president (mockery)
Sim: wana give you small money for pure water (he knows they would reject SMALL money for pure water)

INFERENCE: the President and his minister are the cause of our economic woes

Kukutente23:

Wike? Intellect? That's a new one

chrisxxx:

I mean with respect to Fubara
