Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Thursday, accused State Governor Siminalayi Fubara of showing disrespect towards President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Tony Okocha, APC’s Caretaker Committee Chairman, Fubara is not responding positively to the President’s intervention in his ongoing dispute with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Reacting to the development at the Party’s secretariat in Port Harcourt while addressing individuals who have defected to the APC, he expressed disappointment in Fubara for failing to fulfil the commitments made by Tinubu during the peace agreement with Wike.
