The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has accused Governor Siminialayi Fubara of disrespecting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for allegedly complying with the latter’s directives with reservations.
Tinubu had intervened in the fight between the Rivers governor and his predecessor and godfather, Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The two parties had agreed to an eight-resolution of the President.
However, the fight still lingers on with the party’s Chairman in the state, Tony Okocha, in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria saying Fubara has refused to re-present the budget to the State House of Assembly and conduct local government elections allegedly in disobedience to Tinubu.
“We will not stand aside and watch him violate the legal and constitutional agreement. We will not allow Fubara to disrespect the office of the President,” Okocha told NAN.
The latter quoted him further, “The governor has implemented six resolutions, including withdrawing all cases before the courts, freeing the legislature, paying allowances due to lawmakers, and recognising Amaewhule as speaker.
“But, he has refused to implement two crucial agreements – the re-presentation of the state budget before the 27 lawmakers and the conduct of local government elections.”
