The Caretaker Committee Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Tony Okocha, has called out the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to Probe the administration of ex- governor Wike Nyesom.
Okochi spoke while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
He criticised Fubara's government for allegedly spending of public funds without a budget.
According to him: “I want to say to you clearly that the administration of Rivers State today, under Governor Siminalayi Fubara, is a sham. Take it in a scale of 1 to 10, he scored minus zero. In other words, it is apt to say that we have relapsed to the days of primitive administrations in our political history”.
Okocha alleged that under Governor Fubara, companies are leaving in droves, industries are closing down because of the fear of the unknown in the state.
According to him, “The achievements of Governor Fubara known to me is the fact that he has traversed the 23 local councils of Rivers State in what he dubbed, “Thanksgiving for Supreme Court Victory”, that’s his own achievement and it amounts to nothing other than profligacy and throwing away of Rivers fund”.
Speaking on the plan to probe the past administration, Okocha said that the governor should first drop his immunity before starting a probe because if Wike mentioned him as a witness, the law may not allow him to appear because of an immunity clause.
