Rivers state governor Siminalayi Fubara has said that the only reason distractors are against his administration, is to ensure that his administration did not succeed in meeting it's set target.

Governor Fubara made this known at the government house in Port Harcourt, during the swearing-in ceremony of second batch of five commissioners and two special advisers.

According to the governor, the new commissioners must put in their best to shame detractors who do not want to see the state flourish.

Some of the new commissioners promised to contribute their quota positively to the development of the state.

Among the five commissioners and two special advisers sworn-in were two loyalists of the FCT minister Nyesom Wike who decamped to the governor's camp
