APC however said collaborating with the Governor upon his return to office will not stop the main opposition party in the state from holding him accountable to governance.
Making this declaration in a news briefing in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, the State APC Chairman, Chief Tony Okocha, assured that the APC would continue to consolidate on its membership base while also offering constructive criticism of the Fubara administration after his return.
