A Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has described comments credited to Mr Tony Okocha, over emergency rule in Rivers State as dead on arrival.
Recall that Okocha, in a media parley, called on President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State over the political crisis in the state.
Reacting through a statement made available to DAILY POST on Friday, Eze flayed Okocha, saying he does not have the authority of Rivers APC to speak on their behalf in whatever capacity.
He said every opinion expressed by the political jobber represents his personal view or the opinion of the interest he represents and should not be seen as the collective asseveration of committed party faithful in Rivers State.
Rebutting the call for an emergency rule in Rivers State, Eze said the call has been the target of the FCT Minister to create an unhealthy, crisis-ridden environment in the state and use cronies like Tony Okocha to push for the purpose.
He called on the President and Nigerians to disregard the suggestion of Okocha and his irks, whose motives, he alleges are in sharp contrast to the administrative precepts of Tinubu and Governor Siminialayi Fubara who is committed to realigning Rivers on the path of progress
