The All Progressives Congress, APC, led by Tony Okocha, has come under fire from the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for calling for the resignation or impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

ZINGTIE recalls that Okocha gave the governor a 48-hour ultimatum to step down or risk impeachment during a press conference on Monday.

Okocha claimed that Fubara’s government had thrown the state into anarchy and accused the governor of mismanaging the state.

Furthermore, he asserted that the Supreme Court’s ruling, which cited several violations by the governor that he characterized as impeachable charges, proved that Rivers State does not have a functioning government.

Sydney Tambari Gbara, the PDP’s publicity secretary in Rivers State, rejected the ultimatum in an interview with ZINGTIE, claiming that Okocha is not credible.

He claims that Okocha gave the governor a 48-hour ultimatum to step down or face impeachment “without giving any cogent reasons.”

According to Gbara Okocha “is a character that has been known in Rivers State political scene as a man who speaks from the both sides of his mouth, makes derogatory or illogical utterances that are not always in line with current reality”.

According to the PDP spokesperson, Tony Okocha’s “remark is no longer taken seriously in Rivers State due to his past antecedents. He is irrelevant.

“So therefore, this 48 hour ultimatum is obviously laughable and it is degrading our political landscape in Rivers State, bringing our state down as if we are mediocre and unserious people”.

Gbara, who accused Okocha of “trying to impress his pay master”, urged Nigerians, particularly Rivers people, to disregard the ultimatum.

He added that Governor Fubara “is on top of the situation in Rivers State and he is busy commissioning projects. He has no time to listen to characters like Tony Okocha”.
