Rivers State Government Secretary Tammy Danagogo cautioned critics against seeing Governor Siminalayi Fubara's peaceful approach as a sign of weakness. His warning came after harsh words from the governor's rivals, particularly Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike. These opponents questioned Danagogo's actions within Fubara's team, especially when he signed a letter asking lawmakers to meet with the Governor. Wike specifically called this letter "useless."
Danagogo defended himself when talking to reporters during the opening of Okrika Grammar School. He explained that an SSG writing letters for informal meetings falls completely within normal job duties. This task merely represented standard communication responsibilities rather than overstepping his position. He pointed out that he performed these same functions when working under the previous leadership team.
The Secretary emphasized that he spoke up simply to correct false claims about his work, not because of any political agenda. His goal was merely to address incorrect information being spread about his responsibilities. Danagogo praised Governor Fubara for keeping his composure despite serious provocations from opponents. He specifically mentioned a recent situation where someone locked the state assembly building, blocking the Governor from presenting his budget.
