The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Governor Sim Fubara of disrespecting President Bola Tinubu in the midst of his disagreement with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Tony Okocha, the APC Caretaker Committee Chairman in the state, made the accusation, asserting that Fubara has not adhered to all the declarations made by Tinubu during the peace deal with Wike. Okocha addressed defectors joining the party at the party’s secretariat in Port Harcourt.
Okocha stated, “It will amount to barefaced disobedience for Gov Siminalayi not to follow to the letter, all the 8 indices in the proclamation made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in response to the Rivers State political crisis.”
He continued, “His continued refusal to present the Rivers State 2024 budget to a properly constituted Rivers State House of Assembly under Rt Hon Martin Amaewhule, (Speaker), as captured in index 6.”
“The flagrant cold feet in the conduct of Local Government Elections, (see index 8), smacks of disrespect for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
“The APC Rivers, (which is Mr President‘s Party), stoutly condemns this act of disobedience perpetrated by Gov Fubara and warns against the likely concomitant fallouts.”
