In his newsletter, the Caretaker Committee Chairman of the APC in the state, Tony Okocha, maintained that Wike’s actions ended in Fubara’s controversial appointment as the state’s Accountant-General and ultimately, his positioning as Wike’s preferred successor, facilitated through an opaque selection process steered by the Minister, circumventing traditional party primaries.
Okocha, in what he describes as untold stories in the state’s recent political landscape, highlighted the burning of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex, stating that the governor’s response to the crisis, alleging threats to his life and subsequently overseeing the demolition of the structure, raised ethical and procedural concerns.
The APC Chairman criticized Governor Fubara’s administration’s claims of doubling Internally Generated Revenue under his stewardship, suggesting these as political rhetoric rather than substantiated achievements.
He also scrutinized Fubara’s promise of low-cost housing initiatives, highlighting administrative ineptitude and questionable partnerships, which have supposedly embroiled the state in legal issues and failed expectations.
Okocha called on the people of Rivers State and Nigerians at large to ponder the implications of unchecked political power, ethical governance, and the role of citizen vigilance in upholding democratic values.
