The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has accused Governor Siminialayi Fubara of foot-dragging on implementing two critical resolutions of the December 2023 agreement for ending the political crisis in the state.
Although the party admitted that Fubara had implemented six resolutions, it wondered why he left the two critical components of the pact: the re-presentation of the state’s 2024 budget before the House of Assembly and the conduct of local government elections
The party’s Chairman, Tony Okocha, argued that by not fully honoring the agreement, the governor had unwittingly put the state on “a keg of gunpowder.”
Okocha accused Fubara of being teleguided by a “purported elders forum’’ to deviate from implementing all the resolutions in the agreement.
He said it was hard to believe that a “career civil servant” who became a governor after the Federal Capital Territory(FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike “sat on the noses of politicians and threw him up” has “reneged on agreements reached in the bedroom.”
He criticized the governor’s leadership style, saying the APC might go to court to compel compliance with the agreement.
The APC chairman said: “When the matter reached a crescendo and was almost turning into an emergency, several calls were put across to President Tinubu to wade in.
“The President subsequently invited all the stakeholders from both sides, and we had a very decent meeting devoid of intimidation, harassment, duress, or undue advantage given to anyone.
“During the meeting, the President emphasized the importance of upholding democracy and opted for a diplomatic approach.
Following the discussions, the President presented an eight-point proclamation document and handed it over to former Rivers Governor Peter Odili.
“At every point, Odili read each point from the document, Tinubu interjected and asked if we were okay, and everybody echoed ‘yes.’
