The All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State chapter, has accused the sacked Caretaker Committee Chairman of the party in the state of deliberately flouting the rule of law. In a statement issued on Friday by the state Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, the APC claimed that Okocha and his "paymasters" are engaging in the same actions they have previously accused others of.
"Tony Okocha is trampling on the rule of law and he knows it. The very same thing both he and his paymaster have been shouting against others is what they have been dancing naked doing.
"The worry is not just that we all can see liars masquerading as democrats but it is worse that these liars are also hypocrites."
Despite a ruling by the Rivers State High Court, Okocha has continued to present himself as the CTC Chairman of the party.
Justice Sika Aprioku, in a ruling in a suit filed by Sam Sam Etetegwung, Banarth Ezemoye, Ezekiel Ubom, and others on behalf of the democratically elected APC executive in the state, reinstated the executives led by Emeka Beke as the legitimate leadership of the party in Rivers State.
