APC Knocks Okocha Over Attempt To Block Rivers LG Allocations
Meanwhile, the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has condemned efforts by factional chairman, Tony Okocha to halt revenue allocation to the state’s 23 local governments.
The party insisted that Okocha’s continuous claim to party leadership undermines the valid court ruling that had removed the factional chairman and his seven-member caretaker committee from their positions.
Speaking via a statement on Sunday, the Rivers APC spokesperson Darlington Nwauju emphasized that the APC can no longer remain passive on political matters affecting the state’s citizens.
He further criticized Okocha’s court bid to suspend local government allocations, asserting that this action seeks to disrupt the livelihoods of countless Rivers residents who rely on the local government system.
