Against the backdrop of the defection 27 Lawmakers loyal to Nyesom Wike Minister of Federal Capital Territory to
All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday Rivers APC has slammed the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara of ineffective leadership and poor governance.
Fubara has also been accused of departing from his pledge to continue and consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike and is now allegedly feeding on gossips and chasing shadows.
The party said the governor has nothing to show after spending six months in office, hence describing his administration as a “failed government”.
The Caretaker Committee Chairman of the APC in Rivers State, Tony Okocha, made the expressions in a live Nigeria Infofm Port Harcourt radio programme monitored by our Correspondent.
“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 the 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 who is also the Rivers State representative in Niger Delta Development Commission,NDDC, says “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 further said that APC in will be organizing a Thanksgiving Service to welcome the 27 PDP Lawmakers into the fold is APC where they will be formally welcomed into the fold.
