The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chief Tony Okocha, has issued a fresh ultimatum to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, demanding his resignation within 48 hours or face impeachment.
Okocha made the declaration on Monday while addressing journalists at his private residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He accused Governor Fubara of disrespecting President Bola Tinubu, particularly in his handling of the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.
According to him, the governor failed to honour the peace initiatives led by the president, prompting the APC to take a firm stance.
“As a political party, we are today advising the governor; there are two options, resign honourably or be impeached. That is the position of the All Progressives Congress,” Okocha said.
He further stated,
“He has disrespected Mr. President, and we told him that we cannot be here and have him disrespect Mr. President. The offences are there; the Supreme Court has agreed and even provided us with more evidence. The House of Assembly does not need to set up any committee again to investigate him.”
Okocha emphasized that the APC would not tolerate any defiance from the governor, insisting that he should step down immediately.
“48 hours is too much to give him as an ultimatum. He should just resign honourably,” he added.
This latest ultimatum comes just days after the Rivers State House of Assembly gave Governor Fubara a 48-hour deadline to present the 2025 budget. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
