Rivers Dismisses Okocha’s Call For Emergency Rule As ‘Bobo Juice’

The Rivers State Government has rejected the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker Committee Chairman Tony Okocha's call for emergency rule, dismissing it as "Bobo juice."

The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, said Okocha’s ranting was not worth responding to.

He said Okocha had become notorious for spreading lies and scaremongering adding that nobody would take such character serious in the state.

Johnson recalled that Okocha once raised the alarm over what he claimed was an outbreak of cholera in the state but a team of medical experts visited the area and discovered he told a big lie.

He said: “On Tony Okocha I don’t think that what Okocha said is worth giving any attention. We should not break our heads over what Tony Okocha said.

“The other time he said there was a cholera outbreak when the medical personnel visited the place they said there is nothing like that.

“Another day he (Okocha) said he was welcoming members of the House of Assembly who defeated the APC. What is the position today?

“He also said that he was going to ask the members of the House of Assembly to commence impeachment of the governor, what is the position today?

“All these talks are what we call Bobo juice, He is talking to himself, he is not talking to anybody and he is not talking to Rivers people.”
