The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Tony Okocha on Monday has said the only option available for the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara to resign or face impeachment.
Speaking at a news briefing in Port Harcourt, Okocha described Fubara’s invitation of pro-Wike members of the Rivers House of Assembly to a meeting as a Greek gift.
He said Fubara was aware that the Assembly would be sitting on March 10 before inviting them for a discussion on the Supreme Court judgement.
He also said that Fubara invited the Assembly members to come and discuss about their remuneration, the place that they would use for their sitting, and also the budget.
Okocha stated that Fubara had no right to invite the Assembly to come and discuss the Supreme Court judgement since he was meant to present the budget to them.
According to him, the Governor ab initio disregarded the 8-point agenda for peace by President Bola Tinubu, who is also the leader of our party.
‘’The All Progressive Congress, as an opposition party in the state, will not sit down and watch Gov. Fubara disobey Mr President; for us, that’s an insult.
“We call on Gov. Fubara to resign within 48 hours or face impeachment; the findings of the Supreme Court is enough for him to resign, he is already sitting on a keg of gunpowder,” Okocha said.
He, however, commended the Speaker and the members of the House of Assembly for standing on their grounds till date.
