The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has told the suspended governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara that even if he decides to join the party, his sins cannot be forgiven.
The state caretaker committee chairman of the party, Tony Okocha, made the remark on Tuesday in Abuja.
Okocha, who was responding to questions regarding Fubara’s recent Sallah visit to President Bola Tinubu and its attendant political implications, noted that Fubara’s suspension and the declaration of a state of emergency were about his misdemeanors and had no political undertones.
When asked whether he was worried about Fubara’s meeting with the President, Okocha simply replied that the APC had nothing to worry about.
“How can I be worried that somebody visited my president? Don’t forget it was also the season of Sallah. Yesterday, I read somewhere that the former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Osoba, paid Sallah homage, and I don’t know whether you also saw the President in the company of Chief Nyesom Wike.
“So we cannot be worried; we cannot gag the President to say, ‘You will see Mr. A; you will not see Mr. B.’ Perhaps, if I had made an application to see Mr. President, I would have been there with my team,” he stated.
The Rivers State APC caretaker committee chairman also dismissed reports of reconciliatory moves being embarked on by Fubara, noting that there was nothing like that.
