The All Progressives Congress (APC) branch in Rivers State has accused Governor Sim Fubara of disdaining President Bola Tinubu amid his disagreement with Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike.
Tony Okocha, the state chairman of the APC Caretaker Committee, said that Fubara had not kept all of Tinubu’s promises made during the peace agreement with Wike.
He addressed defectors who were joining the party at the party’s secretariat in Port Harcourt.
Okocha said: “It will amount to barefaced disobedience for Gov Siminalayi not to follow to the latter, all the 8 indices in the proclamation made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in response to the Rivers State political crisis.
“His continued refusal to present the Rivers State 2024 budget to a properly constituted Rivers State House of Assembly under Rt Hon Martin Amaewhule, (Speaker), as captured in index 6.
“The flagrant cold feet in the conduct of Local Government Elections, (see index 8), smarks of disrespect for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The APC Rivers, (which is Mr President‘s Party), stoutly condemns this act of disobedience perpetrated by Gov Fubara and warns against the likely concomitant fallouts.”
