The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of scheming to secure a court order invalidating the current State House of Assembly.
APC caretaker committee chairman in the state, Tony Okocha, made the allegation while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt today.
He stated that the contemplated court order also aimed to invalidate all the laws vetoed by the Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule-led House against the governor.
Okocha pointed out that Fubara aimed to use the interim order as a basis for appointing caretaker committees to oversee the 23 local government areas in the state.
However, the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Warisenibo Joe Johnson, dismissed the APC’s allegation as baseless.
Johnson attributed it to the party’s panic over the overwhelming support for the governor by the state’s populace, particularly expressed through the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) on Wednesday, which caused unrest among the APC factional acting Party chairman.
