Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has explained why he said some dogs bark.
He spoke on a day the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, replied to those asking President Bola Tinubu to sack him, saying the President can sack him only if he could no longer offer him anything.
This is even as the State House of Assembly yesterday raised alarm that there were “secret plots” to procure court orders illegally to restrain the legislature from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities.
Fubara, who called for calm, assured the residents that everything would be fine.
According to the governor, his decision to remain silent in the face of distractions was deliberate, noting that he draws strength from his faith in God.
“I said something that dogs bark when they don’t understand. Now, see, I think a lot of you don’t understand, and that’s the reason I don’t shout, I don’t complain. I know what I have.
“I know that I have what is supreme and that is God. So, I want everyone to relax. What is important is peace for this dear state and we’ll get it by the special name of God,” he said.
