Kenneth Okonkwo Criticizes Abuja Meeting, Alleges Governor Fubara Summoned to Serve APC and Wike

By Daniel Edu

Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent figure in the Labour Party (LP), has strongly criticized the meeting held in Abuja and summoned by President Bola Tinubu to address the political crisis in Rivers State. According to Okonkwo, the meeting, which took place on Monday, was merely a facade used to instruct Governor Siminalayi Fubara on how to become subservient to both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his political mentor, Nyesom Wike.

In Okonkwo’s view, this gathering underscores the notion that both the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) pose threats to Nigeria’s democracy. He questioned the rationale behind a governor and a PDP stalwart seeking resolution from the APC leadership for their political issues.

Furthermore, Okonkwo called out President Tinubu, alleging that his advice to parties involved was encouraging a breach of the country’s constitutional provisions in resolving the political turmoil in Rivers State.

In a statement posted on his X platform account on Tuesday night, Okonkwo expressed his concerns, stating, “Is there any Nigerian still in doubt that APC and PDP have become an existential threat to our democracy and rule of law in Nigeria? How can a PDP Governor and a PDP Chieftain go to APC Leadership to find a solution to their problems? How can a President of a country advise parties before him to breach constitutional provisions to solve political problems?”

He concluded by suggesting that the current crop of politicians in Nigeria has turned the country into a crime scene, alleging that Governor Fubara was summoned to receive instructions on becoming subservient to the APC and his political mentor.
