The Rivers APC faction led by Chief, Emeka Beke has condemned the other faction led by Tony Okocha for instituting a lawsuit to stop the Rivers LG allocation.
Publicity Secretary of the party, Darlington Nwauju in a statement accused Okocha of planning to frustrate the councils because they no longer have access to the state funds.
He also slammed Okocha for parading himself as Rivers APC Chairman despite his removal by the court.
He said,“We have carefully studied events in our dear state, especially as it pertains to the functioning of the local government system, and have come to the realisation that throwing our arms up in the air like Pontius Pilate or sitting in the fence will only further thin out what is left of the democratic fibre of the state.
“We are shocked at the continuous gleeful disdainful treatment for a valid judgment of the Court which had sacked Tony Okocha and his group.
“It is shameful that Okocha and his friends who do not believe or respect the judgment of the High Court which invalidated their so-called appointment by NWC after more than nine months of litigation have been openly boasting of getting judgment from a court of coordinate jurisdiction in Abuja, to stop allocations to local governments in Rivers State thereby frustrating thousands of Rivers people whose livelihood and survival is dependent on the local government system, especially council workers
