Addressing the crowd of APC supporters in Port Harcourt, state chairman of the All progressive congress APC, chief Hon. Tony Okocha said that the rally was to show that APC is still on ground in RIvers state.

Okocha recalled that last general elections, APC could not campaign for their candidates due to the influence of the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT) Chief Barr Ezenwo Nyesom Wike who was then the Governor of the state.

According to Okacha, such a powerful and political force in RIvers state need to come over to the All progressive congress so that APC can win elections in 2027.
Okocha while describing chief Wike as a game changer and the most performing minister of the federal republic of Nigeria opined that with Nyesom Wike who is a reformer and leader of political infantry in RIvers state would help APC to win elections in 2027 , hence the call on Wike by the All progressive congress to come over.

On the governance of the state, the APC leader regrets that development backwardness of the state, pointing out that the Governor rather than embark on the development of the state, he is busy beating drum of war in RIvers state, an act, Okocha described as calling for state of anarchy.

Okacha however warned Governor Sim fubara not to take Rivers state to a state of anarchy , even as he lamented that agencies and companies operating in RIvers state have left because of the activities of unseriousness of the Governor.

Tony alleged that Governor fubara has ethnicised Rivers state where he, the Governor , sees only his ethnic nation even when the state has surpassed issue of Riverine and upland dichotomy.

He used the opportunity to urge Nigerians and the presidency to tell Sim fubara to stop chasing the 27 state lawmakers who were duly elected and for Sim to be cautioned, because, according to him, Gov. Fubara is taking laws into his hands.

Okocha however expressed gratitude to president Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointment Nyesom Wike as minister of FCT, while appealing for more appointments.

Earlier, chieftain of the All progressive congress APC, Rev. Chris Ahiakwo expressed disappointment that APC in the state were denied opportunity campaign during the electioneering campaign, even when the amalgamated support group gave support to president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, positing that it was their efforts for Bola Ahmed Tinubu to succeed, adding that today, APC today is more stronger and stronger.

In her speech, state APC women leader, Hon. Mrs Rita Jumbo of Bola Ahmed Tinubu vanguard condemned the alleged dehumanizing of Rivers women, regretting that Rivers women were dragged to nakedness by the state government because of peanuts.

Mrs Rita Jumbo maintained that such act was not the culture of Rivers people and thus demands apology from the state government for reducible Rivers women to such ridicule.

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the All progressive congress APC, Sunny Solomon Mowan said that ijaws are not ungrateful people , pointing out that APC in RIvers state supported and voted for president Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Sim Fubara under the amalgamated support group.

He opined that the ijaws are not in support of what Sim Fubara is doing in the state and therefore is condemnable.
