Breaking News: APC Asks Security Agencies to Investigate Fubara over Nwaeke’s Allegations
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally requested that security agencies in the country investigate the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Siminalayi Fubara, following recent disclosures by the former Head of the State Civil Service, Dr. George Nwaeke, regarding the alleged orchestration of the bombing of the State Assembly by state officials.
According to the APC, the public revelation made by Dr. Nwaeke, which implicates the suspended governor in facilitating the incident, has substantiated the party’s previous claims. The Chairman of the party in the state, Sir Tony Chidugam Okocha, emphasized in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja that Dr. Nwaeke’s testimony carries significant weight, given his position as the Number 3 man in the State at the time of the incident.
The APC in Rivers State expressed its confidence in the ability of the relevant security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and make their findings public.
Okocha stated, “The APC in Rivers State is strong in her belief that the relevant Security Agencies will be professional enough to get at the root cause of this whole matter, and make such public.”
Furthermore, the party asserted that the verbal attacks against the resigned Head of Service, Dr. Nwaeke, will not deter him from exposing the alleged wrongdoings of the suspended governor. Okocha declared, “The verbal attacks staged against the resigned HoS, will not deter the Statesman from unveiling the rots of Sim Fubara’s which we harped on as opposition political party. On this matter, APC shall function as watchdogs.”
The APC in Rivers State had previously accused Fubara of being the mastermind behind the bombing incident. The party noted that the suspended governor’s actions, including the alleged misuse of taxpayers’ money and the destruction of the assembly complex, demonstrate a blatant disregard for the well-being of the state and its citizens.
The party also referenced the Supreme Court’s unanimous judgment, which described the suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara as a ‘Dictator’. Okocha stated, “The Supreme Court put it rightly in her unanimous judgement delivered on 28th February, 2025, by describing the suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara as a ‘Dictator’. Yes, he was a Dictator!”
The APC views Dr. Nwaeke’s revelations as a crucial piece of evidence, which corroborates the party’s position that the suspended governor is responsible for the political crisis in Rivers State.
Okocha emphasized, “The explosive revelation or allegations if you like, made by Dr. George Nwaeke, the former Head of Service in Rivers State further corroborates the position of the Rivers APC as submitted by Sir (Chief) Tony C Okocha, the State Party Chairman, that suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara is the architect of the entire political crisis in Rivers State.”
The party believes that Dr. Nwaeke’s testimony, as an eyewitness account, provides valuable insight into the events surrounding the bombing of the State Assembly. Okocha stated, “What is most interesting to the APC in Rivers State as a responsible political party is that Dr George Nwaeke’s revelations and testimonies of how suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his squad bombed the Rivers State House of Assembly is an eye witness account.”
Ultimately, the APC views the developments as a vindication of their position and a testament to their role as a responsible opposition party in the state. Okocha concluded, “Again, it has clearly vindicated the APC in Rivers State as the only visible and viable opposition political party in the State, and has cemented the love for the party in the heart of well-meaning Rivers people as the voice of the voiceless, and the hope for a better Rivers State.”
