Follow Proper Channel If You Want To Decamp To APC – Okocha Slams Secondus, Other PDP Leaders In Rivers State
The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caretaker committee in Rivers State, Tony Okocha, has knocked some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state over their recent declaration of support for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Okocha in a statement on Friday in Abuja, warned the PDP leaders that they can’t join the APC through the backdoor.
His submission comes as a direct reaction to a press conference on Thursday by former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, the former minister of transportation, Abiye Sekibo, former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Austin Opara; Celestine Omehia, former deputy governor of Rivers State, Tele Ikuru; Senator Lee Maeba; and former Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Dr. Gabriel Pidomson, among others who declared their support for Tinubu and Fubara.
But Okocha, in his reaction, questioned their sudden love for President Tinubu, adding that the doors of the APC are open to them for defection, but they must follow the proper channels.
He also faulted their declaration of support for President Tinubu, saying they are the ones giving Governor Fubara the confidence to challenge the resolution of President Tinubu on the political crisis rocking Rivers State.
He also told the PDP leaders to withdraw their suit in court challenging the powers of the President to intervene in the Rivers State crisis if they truly are in support of his government.
According to Okocha, “If the mid-night pseudo lovers of Mr President as shown in the text under critique, now are convinced that President is abundantly fit and proper to preside over Nigeria and that his ten months in office has provided Renewed Hope for an eldorado for Nigerians and choose to recant their hitherto unsavoury and unprintable toxics against President, they should follow the proper channels allowed for porting or decamping to a new party.
“This approach of brow-beating and blackmailing they intend to use is not fashionable at all.
“No sane host tolerates a Guest who attempts to enter his/her house, through the window when the door is open.
“When have they repented and withdrawn their suits in court, challenging the Powers of the President to mediate in the political crisis in Rivers State?
“Have they repented from emboldening Governor Fubara to disrespect Mr. President by refusing to implement all the indices on the 8-point Presidential Proclamation, as panacea to the political crisis in Rivers State, which by their actions, they have continued to fuel?”
On Governor Fubara, Okocha challenged him to conduct local government elections if he truly wants to test his popularity among the people of Rivers State.
“He (Fubura) should go and conduct local government elections if he knows he is popular with the people. He should go and test the waters to see if the crowd they have been carrying are not related. We know he doesn’t have the people.”
Okocha lamented that, “under Governor Fubara “Rivers state is more than drifting to a pariah state, to atrophying into abysmal oblivion, to say the least.”

Xabi Alonso To Stay At Bayer Leverkusen For One More Season
Bayer Leverkusen coach, Xabi Alonso has reportedly informed Premier League club, Liverpool, and German Bundesliga club, Bayern Munich, that he is not planning to leave his current club ahead of next season.
Xabi Alonso is currently enjoying an unprecedented run at Bayer Leverkusen where he is currently topping the German Bundesliga table with 10 points above second-placed Bayern Munich.
The Spanish tactician is the only manager in the top four leagues in Europe that has not suffered a defeat this season.
Hence, he is wanted by his two former clubs, Bayern Munich and Liverpool who are expected to lose their current coaches, Thomas Tuchel, and Jurgen Klopp, respectively, at the end of this season.
Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has claimed that Liverpool have bowed out of the race to appoint Xabi Alonso since Thursday, March 28, and Bayern Munich are expected to bow out today, March 29.
The transfer expert also said Alonso is expected to remain the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen until 2025 and there will be a release clause which will permit him to join another club at the end of next season.
“Liverpool, Bayern, and Real Madrid will keep following the development of Xabi Alonso in the future months”, the transfer expert added.
Also, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness had said it is almost impossible for Xabi Alonso to leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of this season because the Spanish tactician would want to achieve more feats at the club.
“Alonso is more inclined to stay at Bayer Leverkusen given their current successes because he would not want to leave them behind”, he said as quoted by Daily Mail.
“Let’s say if he had two or three more years of success, it would probably be easier to get him out of there.”
“I personally, and we all, extremely appreciate Xabi Alonso, but you mustn’t forget that he is now training at a club that is currently in the process of becoming German champions.”
