Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has received advice from certain young people not to recall the commissioners who left their positions in his government.
Additionally, they cautioned the governor against resubmitting the 2024 budget to the Assembly.
The young people, who staged a massive protest in Port Harcourt on Friday, threatened to take over the Government House in the event that the governor disregarded their warning.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, Fubara and Nyesom Wike, his predecessor, decided on Monday night to put an end to the political unrest roiling the state.
Following a meeting between the two opposing factions and President Bola Tinubu and other relevant parties, an agreement was achieved.
However, political observers and analysts contend that the deal mediated by the President is biassed in favour of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Wike.
Protesting in Port Harcourt on Friday, the Rivers youths urged Fubara to dump the agreement.
“We’re calling on the governor not to recall any Commissioner. Any attempt to recall any Commissioner, we’ll occupy the Government House,” the protesting youths hammered.

“Nyesom Wike did not vote for Sim alone. We also voted for Sim. We’ll not allow anybody, anybody all to truncate the will of Rivers people.
“So we’re calling on the Governor, don’t be under any pressure from anybody. We want to call on the Governor, don’t return the budget to the Assembly.
“The Rivers State House of Assembly has only one Speaker recognised by the law which is Edison Ehie. And as such, the seats of the 27 lawmakers are vacant. We want to call on the Governor, we voted for you and you must listen to us, Tinubu is not from Rivers State,” a leader of the protesting youths said.
