A political tug-of-war has erupted in Rivers State, with the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state demanding accountability from Governor Siminalayi Fubara over the management of N144.2 billion in federal allocations received in the past five months.
The APC, represented by its Caretaker Committee Chairman, Chief Tony Okocha, visited the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, on Tuesday, questioning the lack of visible infrastructural development despite the significant financial inflows. Okocha emphasized the absence of “anything on the ground to show for the funds,” raising concerns about transparency and responsible governance.
Okocha said, “As a party in opposition in the state, we have received data of the sum received by the Rivers State Government from the Federal Allocation from June 22, 2023 to November 2023.
