Tony Okocha, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state, has called on Gov Siminalayi Fubara to resign honourably from office within 48 hours or be impeached by the State House of Assembly.
Leadership reports that Okocha made the call on Monday morning, March 10 while speaking to newsmen at his private residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Okocha accused Fubara of insulting President Bola Tinubu, when he attempted to proffer a political solution to the crisis in the state.
“As a political party, we are today advising the governor; there are two options, resign honourably or be impeached. That is the position of the All Progressives Congress. He has disrespected Mr. President and we told him that we cannot be here and have him disrespect Mr. President.
The offences are there; the Supreme Court has agreed and even provided us with more evidence. The House of Assembly does not need to set up any committee again to investigate him.
48 hours is too much to give him as an ultimatum. He should just resign honourably.”
This call comes barely a week after the Supreme Court ordered the resumption of 26 pro-Wike lawmakers who defected from PDP to APC.
