#EndBadGovernance: Protesters Lash Out At Fubara For Offering Pure Water Money

Some EndBadGovernance protesters at the Port Harcourt Government House on Thursday, lashed out at the state governor Siminalayi Fubara for offering them money to buy pure water.

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.
