 in Rivers State, has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara to resign.){kind=link}
In a shocking turn of events, Tony Okocha leads the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State. He has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara to resign. If he does not, he will face impeachment.
This ultimatum was issued during a press briefing in Port Harcourt on Monday, March 10, 2025.
Okocha’s demand stems from Fubara’s invitation to 27 lawmakers for a meeting, which he described as a “Greek gift” – a deceptive gesture masked as goodwill. The APC chairman accused Fubara of disrespecting President Bola Tinubu and violating the rule of law.
Okocha asserts that the Supreme Court judgment is final. He contends that Fubara’s actions are an affront to judicial authority. They also challenge established political norms. The only option available to the governor now is to resign or be impeached.
This development has raised questions about the power dynamics in Rivers State. Political loyalty, legal interpretations, and personal ambitions often collide. The situation is being closely watched, with many awaiting Fubara’s response to Okocha’s ultimatum.
As the ruling party in Rivers State, the APC has been instrumental in shaping the state’s political landscape. Okocha’s ultimatum to Fubara reflects the party’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and defending its interests.
If Fubara is impeached, it would have significant implications for Rivers State politics. The governor’s removal would create a power vacuum, potentially leading to a period of instability and uncertainty.
The crisis in Rivers State has reached a boiling point, with Okocha’s ultimatum to Fubara marking a critical juncture. As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: the future of Rivers State politics hangs in the balance.
