Rivers APC: Fubara Behind Assembly Bombing

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Rivers State Chapter has reaffirmed its stance that suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara is responsible for the political turmoil currently plaguing the state.

In a recent statement, Tony Okocha, the APC Chairman in Rivers State, asserted that the public revelation by former Rivers State Head of Service, Dr. George Nwaeke, confirms the party’s long-held position. According to Okocha, Dr. Nwaeke’s eye-witness account of the October 29, 2023 bombing of the Rivers State House of Assembly directly implicates Governor Fubara and his associates.

Okocha stated that the testimony has not only validated the APC’s claims but also reinforced the party’s image as the main opposition voice and a credible alternative in the state.

“Dr. Nwaeke’s revelation is a game-changer. It has vindicated us and confirmed beyond doubt that the crisis was orchestrated by Governor Fubara,” Okocha said.

He described the APC as the “voice of the voiceless” and emphasized the growing public support for the party among well-meaning citizens of Rivers State.

The chairman also maintained that the verbal attacks targeted at Dr. Nwaeke following his resignation and subsequent disclosures will not deter him or the APC from speaking the truth and exposing alleged misconduct in the state’s leadership.

Okocha further expressed trust in Nigeria’s security agencies to thoroughly investigate the matter and reveal the full extent of the crisis for the sake of justice and stability.

He reiterated that the APC has consistently pointed fingers at Fubara as the mastermind behind the destruction of the Rivers State House of Assembly, an iconic structure admired across the country.

With the 2027 elections in sight, the APC says it is positioning itself as a credible, transparent, and people-centered alternative ready to take over the leadership of Rivers State.
