aAccording to the statement signed by its President, Comr. Jack Thomas, Okocha has been economical with the truth when it comes to projects inherited in the state.

“As a Pro-democratic group that is carefully following events in Rivers State, we can attest to the giant strides recorded by the governor of River State, His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara, in his first year in office,” the statement said.

The statement further reads:

“So, we wonder how Okocha would describe the administration of His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara as a government in the intensive care unit.

“Contrary to claims by the embattled Rivers APC chairman that His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara didn't acknowledge former Governor Nyesom Wike for inherited projects, we wish to draw the attention of Okocha to the statement by His Excellency Fubara during the presentation of his one-year score card last Wednesday at a townhall meeting in Portharcourt where the governor categorically disclosed that, his administration inherited 34 uncompleted road projects worth over 225.279 billion naira spread across 13 local government areas of the state."
