 APC GROUP ACCUSES OKOCHA OF DIVISION, DESTABILISING RIVERS OVER CALL FOR FUBARA'S IMPEACHMENT 

 


 


The All Progressives Congress (APC) Solidarity and Development Forum has condemned the call made by Chief Tony Okocha, the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, advising Governor Siminalayi Fubara to resign from office of be impeached.


Chief Okocha alleged that governor Fubara was unable to provide governance for the people of the state


But the Forum had described the utterances made by Chief Okocha as "reckless, and irresponsible, threatening the very fabric of democracy."


Their position was contained in a statement that was jointly signed by Kabir Matazu and Igwe Ude-Umanta, its convener and co-covener, respectively.


The statement, which was read at a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, emphasised that they denounced the state chairman of the APC over the call for the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.


Frowning at such utterances, the group said it was a clear attempt to destabilise the government and create chaos in Rivers State.


The group also criticised the APC chairman for his disrespect of President Bola Tinubu.


"The president himself, in his wisdom, has called for all parties involved in the disagreement to maintain the status quo and work towards a peaceful resolution.


"Governor Fubara has heeded this call and has demonstrated his commitment to the vision of inclusivity and good governance that our dear president has upheld since assuming office.


"In the reality of having to work with people of diverse political affiliations, President Tinubu has successfully built a government devoid of nepotism and marginalisation.


"It will be unfair, and unwise for any party member, or individual not to resonate in the same frequency with our president. 


"It is very disheartening to witness Chief Tony Okocha’s unguided utterances, which not only disregard the president's call for peace but also pose a threat to the stability and progress of our beloved party.


"We are appalled by the Chairman’s unguided fervour and lack of understanding of the complex challenges facing Rivers State. His actions are a dent in the respectable image and good representation of what our party stands for.


"It Is evident to everyone that Chief Tony Okocha has lost sight of the vision and principles of the APC, as his misguided loyalty has compromised the integrity and status of our party.


"By calling for the impeachment of Governor Fubara without justifiable cause, Mr Tony has not only undermined the unity and cohesion of our party but also endangered the very foundation of our democratic system."


The group urged Chief Okocha to resign immediately from his position as the Rivers State APC Chairman.


It said Chief Okocha's "continued stay in office will only serve to further destabilise our party and the state at large."
