“As a political party, we are today advising the governor; there are two options, resign honorably or be impeached. That is the position of the All Progressives Congress,” Okocha said, accusing Governor Fubara of disrespecting President Bola Tinubu, especially in his handling of the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State. He claimed that the governor had failed to honor the president’s peace initiatives, which prompted the APC to take a firm stance.
The APC would not tolerate the governor’s disobedience, Okocha added, adding, “He has disrespected Mr. President, and we told him that we cannot be here and have him disrespect Mr. President. The offenses are there; the Supreme Court has concurred and even provided us with extra evidence. The House of Assembly does not need to form up any committee again to probe him.”
He went on to say, “48 hours is too much to give him as an ultimatum. He should just resign honorably.” This most recent declaration follows the Rivers State House of Assembly’s 48-hour deadline for Governor Fubara to produce the 2025 budget.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
