The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress alleges that the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, is planning to get temporary court orders to declare the state House of Assembly illegal.
Also, the state’s main opposition party stated that Fubara’s remarks on Wednesday while speaking to members of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees in Government House, Port Harcourt, were inciting conflict and showing disrespect for President Bola Tinubu.
The State APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Tony Okocha, revealed this during a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Thursday.
Fubara, while talking about his opponents in the political crisis in the state, had stated, “If you challenge me I will astonish you.”
The governor also encouraged members of the NULGE in the state to prepare and be ready, stating, “The next phase is fire for fire.”
