Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Chief Tony Okocha has raised concerns regarding the governance style of Governor Siminialaye Fubara’s administration.
In a statement, Okocha underscored various issues plaguing the state, ranging from alleged administrative ineptitude to fiscal mismanagement.
He likened Governor Fubara’s leadership to a directionless journey, citing examples of alleged financial extravagance and the disconnect between the executive and legislative arms of government.
He also criticized what he termed as the governor’s penchant for frivolous spending and the neglect of critical state matters.
The statement further emphasized the need for robust opposition against what he described as a “clueless and visionless” government.
He highlighted the recent influx of funds into the state treasury, amounting to N40.4 billion and expressed concern over the potential misuse of public funds.
The APC chairman vowed to continue advocating for accountability and good governance in Rivers State, despite criticisms from supporters of the current administration.
He called on responsible citizens to join the fight against a systemic failure in leadership, urging them not to remain silent in the face of adversity.
As the chairman of his party’s caretaker committee, Okocha reaffirmed his commitment to championing the interests of the people and holding the government accountable for its actions.
