The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Governor Sim Fubara of disrespecting President Bola Tinubu amid his rift with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
According to the APC Caretaker committee Chairman in the state, Tony Okocha, Fubara has not fulfilled all the proclamations made by Tinubu at the peace deal with Wike.
Speaking at the party’s secretariat in Port Harcourt while addressing defectors joining the party, Okocha stated, “It will amount to barefaced disobedience for Gov Siminalayi not to follow to the latter, all the 8 indices in the proclamation made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in response to the Rivers State political crisis.
“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), smarks 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.”
