Human rights activist Annkio Briggs has called on Ibok-Ete Ibas, the immediate past sole administrator of Rivers State, to account for funds allegedly spent during his six-month stewardship.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Briggs insisted that Ibas must be held accountable to the people of Rivers and to Nigerians at large.
“He (Ibok-Ete Ibas) spent our money. He has to account to the people of Rivers State, even to Nigerians, for the sake of integrity and for the sake of justice and fairness,” she said.
Briggs argued that Ibas could not simply walk away after overseeing the state for six months without providing a transparent account of how resources were managed.
“Because you can’t come into a state and get hold of all their resources and funds, stay there for six months, and just walk away as if you were never there. He was here for six months, and within that six months, he spent our money; that’s the truth. It’s our money,” she added.
