The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has demanded that Governor Siminalayi Fubara either resign or face impeachment, following his recent invitation to a breakfast meeting with the 27 Pro-Wike lawmakers at the Government House on Monday.
Rivers APC Chairman, Tony Okocha, sharply criticized the invitation, calling it a “Greek Gift” and implying that it was a deceptive or insincere gesture.
Okocha went on to recall the Governor’s repeated disrespect towards President Ahmed Tinubu, particularly after the president’s intervention in the state’s political crisis in 2023.
He also accused Fubara of flouting court rulings with impunity, further intensifying the ongoing political tensions.

He said: “The invitation to the lawmakers is a Greek Gift. The Supreme Court Judgement is final. There is nothing anybody can do about it. The only option available to the Governor now is for him to resign or be impeached.”
Feilding questions from journalists on the Governor’s invitation, Okocha said: “My response to the Greek gift the Governor is attempting to extend to the 27 Lawmakers is it is not within the ambits of the law and it is already belated.
“It is stupidity that made Nza (small specie of bird) to challenge his chi (god), to a fight. We have always told the Governor that if he brings insect-infested firewood to his house, he has literally invited lizards to a feast.”
