The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Is Nothing But A Riot – Tony Okocha

The sacked chairman of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker Committee in Rivers State, Tony Okocha has come out to rubbish the recent #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.

He recently described it as nothing but a riot, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he took offence to Governor Siminalayi Fubara offering to give protesters money for bread while his counterparts were meeting people from different walks of life and stakeholders to find solutions to pressing issues.

He added that he is leading a pro-Tinubu support rally with a crowd that will show up at their own volition and freeness of heart.

His words, “The crowd you see here at their own volition and freeness of heart came in this large numbers, and you saw how peaceful the procession was. This is what we call a protest.

We are marching for Mr President. We want to clean the rot that was typical from August 1 to August 10. We imagine that in Rivers State, you all know you’re from here. Rivers State has never been an epicentre for any protest or demonstrations.

I was very active in the #Endsars protest. Did you see the SARS protest in Rivers State being as profuse and excruciating as what you saw?

So there must be a reason. That reason is the fact that the man who funded, the man who sponsored, the man who held midnight meetings with youths, I refused to call them hoodlums, is the only person that benefited from the 10 days of inactivity in Nigeria, especially in Rivers State.

And to also tell you, you saw when the Governor said that he would give them something for pure water and bread.

When other governors in other states are circumspect. When governors in other states are busy meeting with all manner and strata of people in their states, our own governor drives freely to commission, I hear, or to attend the burial of somebody’s mother in Khana.”
