The All Progressives Congress (APC) has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging Governor Siminilayi Fubara of Rivers State to test his popularity by organizing local government elections.
This bold move by the APC follows a wave of political tension spurred by declarations of support for President Bola Tinubu from within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), particularly among Atiku Abubakar loyalists.
Tony Okocha, the Chairman of APC in Rivers State, condemned Governor Fubara's extravagant spending on weekly thanksgiving services, accusing him of prioritizing frivolous events over governance.
Okocha urged the governor to redirect his focus towards conducting local government elections as a true measure of his support base.
The APC's challenge underscores the deepening divide between political factions in Rivers State and sets the stage for a high-stakes showdown as Governor Fubara faces mounting pressure to prove his political mettle.
