Members of Renewed Hope Family in Rivers State, led by Chief Tony Okocha, on Monday, held a solidarity walk in the major streets of Port Harcourt in support of President Bola Tinubu’s policies and the Federal Capital Territory Minister (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike.
Okocha led the rally which commenced at about 8am from the Polo Club in the Government Residential Area through the major Aba Road, to the Government House axis and then terminated at the Port Harcourt Club on Forces Avenue.
Speaking with journalists during the peaceful march, Okocha urged the people of the state and Nigerians to be patient with President Tinubu, saying that his policies would right the fortunes of the country in due time.
He said the group which is under the leadership of Wike is determined to support the President achieve success in his transformation and progressive development in country.
Okocha who is also the representative of Rivers State on the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), noted some of the achievements of Tinubu led administration to include; students loan, infrastructural development across the country, especially the proposed coastal road project, others.
On the hardship movement, Okocha accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of sponsoring an anti-Tinubu protesters in Rivers, alleging that the governor benefitted from the inactivity in the country and in the state.
“We are marching for Mr President. We want to clean the rot that was typical of August 1st to 10th. Rivers State has never been an epicenter for any protest or demonstration. The man who sponsored and held midnight meetings with the youths is the only person that benefitted from the ten days of inactivity in Nigeria, particularly in Rivers State.
“On the first day of the protest, the governor, has the boldness of mind to tell them that he would pass their message to the president, assuming and absorbing himself from the situation and you also 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 other governors are busy meeting with all manner of people in their states, our governor rode freely to attend the burial of somebody’s mother in Khana and he drove deliberately through the crowd that he mobilised to protest against Tinubu and he tells the world that he’s a supporter of Tinubu. It is a fat lie”, Okocha insisted.
Also speaking, Dr Gift Worlu, one of the Commissioners that resigned from the cabinet of Fubara during the peak of the political crisis in the state, emphasised that Tinubu should be supported for taking courageous steps to drag Nigeria back on track.
He accused past leaders of not having the courage to take the right decisions for the betterment of the country.
“Before now Nigeria was moving in a wrong direction with alot of speed, what President Bola Tinubu is doing is to redirect Nigeria on the right path. I want to assure you that in a couple of months, Nigeria will gather momentum and on the right part and Nigeria would be that great nation that all of us dreamt of.
“Before him, we never saw this kind of protest in Nigeria, but the Tinubu that I know is ready to put down his life for his countrymen and that’s why you must support him. I want to tell you that history will judge President Tinubu right. The decisions that he’s making today are the kind of decisions only true leaders make”, he added.
