An Assembly Can Be Moved Anywhere Provided The Mace Is Present—- Chief Tony Okocha 

The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC,  in Rivers State,  Chief Tony Okocha has stated that opposition party, referring to APC in the State will not allow anarchy and chaos that the State Governor, Similary Fubara has thrown it.

Okocha made this remarks in a briefing at the APC media centre in Buhari House in Abuja accussing the PDP governor of formenting crisis that will not help the state in any way. He stated that an assembly can be moved anywhere but that it is not the structure but human beings that makes the assembly.

It will be recalled that recently a total of 27 state house of assembly members had defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, from the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in state.

According to Okocha: ” You cannot place something on nothing and you expect it to stand.  And illegality is illegaty.  Let me also let you know that what makes an assembly is not the structure, but the human beings in that assembly.

” So, an assembly can be moved to anywhere provided the mace which is the symbol of authority is there. As at yesterday, about 27 members sat and took the far-reaching decisionn on state matters. You will see all of them signed underneath those decisions.

” But, I tell you a thing, I read a philosopher called Frank Fano, he said the gift you give to an intransigent government is civil disobedience.  He also said that it is unthinkable love disobedience before the law. So, there is a case of anarchy. And it is within the ambit of the PDP.

” It is not like we have a breakdown of law and order. But, this is an in nternal wrangling in PDP.  That they are moving and being allowed to be taken to the centre stage. I had warned the governor or rather advise him. I told him you are opening your flanks to the fifth columnist. And they will feast.

” This same fifth columnists that will dome to feast will be the ones that will be singing your praises. And today, he has left governance completely and begins to chase shadows. Those infrastructural developments that Rivers State is noted for has begin to atrophied.

” They are roting away including projects that the former governor has completed upto 100% and he left it for him to come and Commission. He is unable to do anything and he is just after and chasing the mouse even when his house is burning. So there is complete lack of government and governance in Rivers State. And APC being a party now in opposition will not allow it”, he narrated.

The Minister of Federal Capital Territory FCT, Barr. Nyesom Wike has been alleged as being the architect of the crisis ravaging the state over the control of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, structure which the Governor,  Similary Fubara is not willing to surrender to the Minister.
