The march commenced from the Government Reservation Area (GRA) junction along Aba-Port Harcourt road, and ended at the APC secretariat.
Speaking to the crowd at the APC secretariat, the caretaker committee chairman of the party in the state, Chief Tony Okocha stated that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is l”eading the state to anarchy.”
Okocha said: “By his body language, his speeches, he is leading Rivers State to anarchy. We describe Rivers State as a bull driving into the China’s shop.
“Rivers State was earning in this country; people came to occupy space because there was relative peace. Today, agencies, companies, industries are leaving Rivers State in droves because of fear of the unknown. Because of a man who has shown that he is clueless.

“He has ethnicised Rivers State; he no longer sees Rivers State; he sees his ethnic nation. Are we going to tolerate that? Rivers State has gone past the formula of riverine-upland dichotomy,” he said.
Also speaking at the secretariat, woman leader of the Bola Tinubu Support Group in Rivers State, Mrs Rita Jumbo, advised Fubara to stop dehumanizing women in the state.
“Fubara should stop dehumanizing the women of Rivers State. We want to advice the governor to use his time to empower women and youths of Rivers State,” she said.
