The local government chairmen, who are under the umbrella of ALGON, said Governor Fubara’s move has denied them the ability to perform their administrative function as the third tier of government.
ALGON said the action was synonymous with proscribing the local government in the south-south state. The chairmen then seconded the call by Tony Okocha, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caretaker committee in the state.
Okocha had earlier call on the state assembly to commence the impeachment proceedings of Governor Fubara.
Allwell Ihunda, the chairman of Rivers state ALGON and the Port Harcourt city local government area disclosed the group’s position to journalists at the state capital on Wednesday, May 8.
His comment partly read:
This is coming days after the state assembly threatened to take a strong move against the governor should he continue to flout the law.
