The Caretaker Committee Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Rivers State, Tony Okocha has accused Governor, Siminalayi Fubara of ineffective leadership, poor governance and failure to fulfil his pledge to consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
Okocha who is an ally of Nyesom Wike said this while reacting to defection of 27 lawmakers loyal to Wike from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to APC on Monday.
Tony Okocha on a live programme of Nigeria Infofm radio station in Port Harcourt on Tuesday said the governor Fubara has nothing to show after spending six months in office, describing his administration as “failed”.
In his words:
“Governance in Rivers State is dead. Governor Siminalayi Fubara has departed from the standard, which he said will continue and consolidate. He departed not because he has better ideas, there is nothing new. Those infrastructural developments we all knew about as citizens of the state for which reason former Governor Nyesom Wike was decorated with an award by the then APC government, they are all gone. They are now history. What is new in the past six months?
Okocha added: “In fact, any government that has stayed for 100 days and has nothing to show for it is as good as a failed government.
“That’s the reason 100 days celebration is in place. Now you have done over six months, we can’t see any developmental strides, we can’t see anything new. What we hear in the news are alterations. Governor Sim Fubara has left governance and is now chasing shadows.”
Okocha who is also the Rivers State representative in Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, revealed that APC in will be organizing a Thanksgiving Service to welcome the 27 PDP lawmakers into the fold of APC formally.
