CSGGG Hails Rivers Sole Administrator’s Leadership
…Says Peace Brokered, Trust Restored
…Lauds Transformative Governance, Credits Tinubu’s Foresight in Critical Appointment
The Civil Society Groups for Good Governance (CSGGG) has commended the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, for what it describes as a “remarkable display of leadership, vision, and national commitment” that has restored peace and stability to the state.
In a statement issued on Monday and signed by its President, Chief Ogakwu Dominic, the group praised Ibas decisive and inclusive leadership style, which it said helped defuse long-standing political tensions and rebuild public trust in the state’s governance structures.
“Through his forthright vision and uncommon commitment, the Sole Administrator has successfully neutralized conflict situations, restored harmony across communities, and stabilized the political landscape of Rivers State,” the statement read.
CSGGG particularly noted the peaceful and credible conduct of the recent local government elections, describing it as a milestone achievement that underscored the Administrator’s competence and statesmanship.
“Despite widespread doubts, the elections were held in an atmosphere of calm, fairness, and inclusivity. This success brought together divergent political interests and fostered reconciliation among previously polarized factions,” Chief Dominic said.
The group also lauded the Administrator’s continued service to the nation, even after his formal retirement, describing it as an act of rare patriotism and national sacrifice.
“His unwavering dedication to national assignments, even after meritorious retirement from service, reflects true statesmanship and a selfless devotion to Nigeria’s unity and progress,” the statement added.
CSGGG further commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what it called a “strategic and visionary” appointment, made at a time when the state was grappling with political uncertainty.
“At a time when decisive leadership was needed to calm the storm in Rivers State, the President acted wisely by appointing someone with the right credentials, experience, and political acumen,” Chief Dominic stated.
He urged citizens and stakeholders in the state to rally behind the Administrator’s efforts and ensure that the hard-won peace is sustained through continued cooperation and dialogue.
“Today, Rivers State is no longer a symbol of division, but a beacon of hope, unity, and governance done right,” the statement concluded.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
