The Rivers State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Tony Okocha, has blamed the judiciary for the controversial crisis unfolding in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking at a media briefing in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Okocha slammed the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi for his comments about President Bola Tinubu.

Amaechi stated that Tinubu would not relinquish power in 2027 and encouraged the youth to fight for their desires.

Last week, Amaechi had said: “Politicians are in Nigeria to steal, maim, and kill, and to remain in power. If you think Tinubu will give it to you, you’re wasting your time.”

In response, Okocha accused Amaechi of trying to incite the public against the government and fomenting anarchy.

He also accused Amaechi for failing to bring developmental projects to the South-South region during his time as minister.

“The judiciary is the problem behind the political crisis in Rivers State. Judges make pronouncements on PDP congresses even when a superior court ruled otherwise,” Okocha alleged.
