Rivers APC Holds Tinubu Support Rally Against #EndBadGovernance Protesters

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state has thrown its back behind President Bola Tinubu in light of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests.

This affirmation was made by the recently sacked chairman of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker Committee in Rivers State, Tony Okocha, on Tuesday.

Okocha, under the aegis of ‘Coalition of Renewed Hope Family in Rivers State’ led a support rally in favour of the President.

“The crowd you see here at their own volition and freeness of heart came in this large numbers, and you saw how peaceful the procession was. This is what we call a protest.

“We are marching for Mr President. We want to clean the rot that was typical from August 1 to August 10. We imagine that in Rivers State, you all know you’re from here. Rivers State has never been an epicentre for any protest or demonstrations.

“I was very active in the #Endsars protest. Did you see the SARS protest in Rivers State being as profuse and excruciating as what you saw?

“So there must be a reason. That reason is the fact that the man who funded, the man who sponsored, the man who held midnight meetings with youths, I refused to call them hoodlums, is the only person that benefited from the 10 days of inactivity in Nigeria, especially in Rivers State,” Okocha said while addressing the crowd of protesters.

The protests began from the Polo Club in GRA to Aba Road, down to Isaac Boro Park, Bank Road, Moscow Road in the state.

Okocha went on to criticize River Governor, Fubara, for encouring protests.

He counseled Nigerians on patience with the Tinibu-led government.

“We believe that Rome was not built in a day. All that Mr. President is doing are futuristic programmes. The President has recognised the fact of what education can do for the people,” Okocha added.
