Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, has dismissed claims that Governor Sim Fubara‘s government is toxic.
Naija News recalls that on Wednesday, five commissioners loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, resigned from the Rivers State Executive Council, citing a toxic working environment.
Before now, two commissioners had quit the government after the governor reshuffled the cabinet.
The resignations followed the ongoing political supremacy battle between Fubara and his predecessor, Wike.
Reacting to the spate of resignations that hit the state cabinet on Wednesday, Johnson, in a statement on Thursday, disclosed that Fubara gives his appointees the liberty to operate, stressing that there is no toxic working environment in the administration.
He said, “It is common. That is the kind of thing you find in a healthy environment. People have the right to be appointed, sacked or they resign. So, it is not anything new. It didn’t start today.
“Those who resigned have made up their minds and you can’t stop them.
“They are just trying to look for the clause to clutch. There was nothing to talk about toxic or no toxic. We all operate in the same atmosphere. The governor allowed us the liberty to operate and we’re enjoying his liberal nature.”
