The Rivers State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Tony Okocha has accused Governor Siminialayi Fubara of spending frivolously, the money meant for the development of the state.
Okocha made the accusation on Tuesday in Port Harcourt while briefing newsmen on the state of development in Rivers in the last 10 months of Fubara’s administration. Okocha stated that the APC in Rivers had come to a conclusion that Fubara’s administration was “visionless”. “The governor is busy spending money on thanksgiving in all the local government areas of the state.
“How does that translate to good governance for Rivers people? So, the support is highly orchestrated by the governor himself,” Okocha said. On the economic hardship witnessed in the country, the state APC Chair explained that the hardship was a global phenomenon and not as a result of leadership failure. According to him, President Bola Tinubu was eager to bring Nigerians out of suffering, just as he demonstrated political will and removed the fuel subsidy which he said was “anti-people”.
