PDP Responds to Okocha's Call for Fubara's Resignation

PDP Defends Fubara Against Okocha’s Controversial Claims

In Rivers State, a political dispute has intensified between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over calls for Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s resignation or impeachment.

APC’s Stance: Tony Okocha, the factional chairman of the APC in Rivers State, has demanded that Governor Fubara resign within 48 hours or face impeachment proceedings. Okocha cited alleged mismanagement and disrespect towards President Bola Tinubu as reasons for this ultimatum.

PDP’s Response: The PDP has dismissed Okocha’s demands, labeling him as “irrelevant” and his statements as lacking credibility. Sydney Tambari Gbara, the PDP’s Publicity Secretary, criticized Okocha for issuing ultimatums without providing substantial reasons and accused him of attempting to impress his political benefactors. Gbara emphasized that Okocha’s past actions have led to a loss of trust among the people of Rivers State.

Additional Developments: A faction of the APC loyal to former Governor Nyesom Wike has also called for Governor Fubara’s resignation or impeachment, citing multiple alleged offenses. However, Governor Fubara has dismissed these threats, assuring supporters of his administration’s commitment to peace and stability.

The situation remains tense, with both parties entrenched in their positions, contributing to the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.
