Okocha, who is also the representative of Rivers State on the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) made the call yesterday while addressing journalists at the party’s secretariat in Port Harcourt.

In a swift reaction, the Rivers State government described Fubara as the best thing to happen to the state, saying that Okocha has lost touch with happenings in the state.

In a short message service (SMS) sent to LEADERSHIP, the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Warisenibo Joe Johnson said: “Chief Tony Okocha has lost touch with the happenings in the State.

“Governor Sim Fubara is the best thing that happened to the state and majority of Rivers people are appreciative of his ability to rewrite the political history of the state.

“The noisy way he is used to, is no longer the way to go. We are rebuilding the entire state and the revival fire is sweeping through the entire 23 LGAs.”

Okocha accused Fubara of violating the Nigerian constitution by running the state without a budget as well as failing to step up machinery in motion for the conduct of local government election in the state.

The APC chairman also accused the governor of withholding the monthly allocation of the 23 LGAs in the state, in violation of the provisions of the constitution.

Okocha said, “The governor does not have power to withhold the monthly allocation to the 23 local government councils in the state.

“It was wrong for governor to meet with Heads of Local Government Administration on salary payment to workers without the knowledge of LGA Chairmen.

“The governor is running a one-man show. He is not working with the Rivers State House of Assembly; he is not working with State Executive Council because he doesn’t hold meetings and he is not working with LGA chairmen.

“There is no governance in Rivers State. The present administration is clueless and has no direction. Governor Siminalayi Fubara has deviated from the consolidation and continuity mantra that brought him to power.”
