The statement, “A dog barks only when it doesn’t understand,” was made by Siminalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, Nigeria.

The phrase “Fubara blows hot” refers to the fact that he made this statement during a period of intense political conflict, showing anger and defiance.

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged his supporters to remain calm amid the ongoing face-off between him and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Speaking at the New Year banquet held at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the governor said there was no cause for alarm, stressing that his camp understands the situation and is focused on its goals.
