According to a member of the group, imposing candidates in the Local government election by the governor would diminish him.
He stated that members of the group in the Bonny LGA would reject any reported endorsement of specific candidates ahead of the election.
The source said: “Bonny SIMplified Movement members will be ready for a confrontation with either Fubara or the House of Assembly Speaker if any attempt is made to impose a candidate on the people ahead of this election.
“We, the stakeholders, after assessing the low state of development in our local government area, have called on Dagogo Fubara to come and rescue the local government.”
