Former Attorney General of Rivers State, Hon. Worgu Boms has reacted to calls by the Rivers APC for Hon. Tony Okocha to be removed as the leader of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Support Vanguard in the state.
A chieftain of the APC, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze yesterday, called for Okocha’s removal, as he is no longer a member of the party, and lacks the capacity to lead the group.
Boms in a statement Today, dismissed the call describing it as laughable.
His statement reads,
Consider:
Hon Rotimi Amaechi said those who voted Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Primaries are regretting.Tony Okocha did not say so or anything like that.
Amaechi joined Tinubu critics in saying that the clerics who came to the Shetima unveiling were not pastors.Tony Okocha, to the contrary, not only did he not say so, insisted they were pastors and bishops!
Tony Okocha, on the other hand, had been with and supporting Tinubu since Tony Okocha was born, upto the time of the primaries and beyond, even when Amaechi and his people were taunting Tony for the support, reminding Tony that he was wasting his time as it would never be Tinubu, who, according to them, Buhari would never allow to succeed him, that it was Amaechi Buhari had vowed with God, to succeed.
Tony Okocha, undaunted, joined with other like-minded persons for Tinubu, to hold a rally for Tinubu in Ikwerre LGA for Tinubu.Even while there, these same Amaechi people tried to stop the rally using the police, but, as was the case with all their plots, they failed, woefully, spectacularly.
When Tinubu sent several bags of rice this way during the Yuletide, then, and it was publicly acknowledged with photographs of Tony with others beside the bags of rice, they all wrote sweet literature, condemning us and Tony, asking, mockingly, how a former this and a former that, can be snapping pictures with Tinubu rice.Tony stood his ground.
Now, Tony is made to coordinate the same Tinubu Group, and the same people who opposed him and taunted him are querying his pedigree to lead the same group. They want Amaechi’s appointees in the name of their APC Exco, to replace Tony?Hahaha
Is it that we did not go to school or what?Or because of Amaechi politics, all our education – Bsc, LLM, PhD etc- are nothing in the name of politics for, I swear, I have never, in all my life, seen university graduates so illogical in their ways and thinking.I have not o!
My name is WorguBoms
