Okocha reveals cause of Rivers political crisis

The Rivers State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Tony Okocha, has disclosed the real cause of the crisis in the state.

Okocha blamed the political crisis in Rivers State on the judiciary.

He spoke at a press conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he berated former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, for saying President Bola Tinubu would not relinquish power in 2027.

Last week, Amaechi had said: “Politicians are in Nigeria to steal, maim, and kill, and to remain in power. If you think Tinubu will give it to you, you’re wasting your time.”

Reacting to the comments, Okocha accused Amaechi of attempting to incite the public against the government and craving anarchy.

He accused Amaechi of failing to attract developmental projects to the South-South region during his tenure as minister.

“The judiciary is the problem behind the political crisis in Rivers State. Judges make pronouncements on PDP congresses even when a superior court ruled otherwise,” Okocha alleged.
