The Caretaker Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in River State, Chief Tony Okocha has said that he would not honour the invitation of Judicial Commission of Inquiry if it is not all inclusive.
TheHintsNews reports that Governor Siminilayi Fubara recently inaugurated the judicial commission of inquiry to investigate the arson, killings, and destruction of property at various local government council Secretariat in the state.
The seven-member commission has Justice Ibiwengi Minakiri as Chairman; Mrs. Inyingi Brown as the Secretary; and Uzor Ikenga as the counsel.
The Rivers APC chairman while addressing journalists on Thursday in Abuja, said the APC view the judicial panel as an attempt to witch hunt.
When asked if he would honour the invitation of the judicial panel, Okocha said, “No! Until it is inclusive, I will not. I will not, you don’t rub Peter to pay Paul. You don’t deny he goat his wife because his thing is small.”
He stressed that it was not enough to set up a judicial commission of inquiry of the three LGAs burny, without including the bombing of APC Secretariat and Rivers State Assembly.
According to him, We are saying the governor should include all issues of arson since he took over. He should include the bombing of Rivers State House of Assembly. It should include the bombing of APC Secretariat, and it should also include the burning of the three local governments. We see the governor’s attempt as an attempt to witch hunt.
