The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has said that Governor Siminalayi Fubara scored ‘minus zero’ in terms of performance in his first one year in office.
APC caretaker committee chairman in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing journalists in his office in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Okocha said: “I want to say to you clearly that the administration of Rivers State today under Governor Siminalayi Fubara is a sham. Take it on 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.
“There is nothing to show and I challenge the governor and his handlers to show just one proof of one project he commenced and completed in 365 days. The moment I see and hear that, I will immediately recount and publicly congratulate the governor.
“Does he compare with his other brothers? I will name particularly those who are first-timers as he. Take a typical case of Abia State, take a typical case of Akwa Ibom, take a typical case of Ebonyi State, take a typical case of Anambra, take a case of Enugu and let’s look at the far North, Niger State.
“Juxtapose the achievements of this governors individually, they are first timers like him. Take a facts-check of what is happening in those states and you will you will realised that Rivers State is a case of mumbo-jumbo.”
Okocha, who is also the Rivers State representative in the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), denied reports on social media that he congratulated Fubara on the celebration of his one year in office.
He said: “My attention was drawn to a viral post stating the above subject.
As may be correctly predicted by those who know me, my initial approach was to ignore the puerile, jejune and cheap propaganda piece, so poorly couched by uloony, who may have skipped his/her psychiatric medication and so, momentarily prowls on the street, naked, spewing arrant rubbish on passersby.
“On a critical thought, I decided to cave in to strong persuasions by superior
arguments, so clinically adduced by a myriad of sane minds, to “bury” the author, purveyors and paymaster(s) of the fat lies, in succinct, clear and apt propositions.”
