Bassey Marshall
George Fubara Tolofari, former Rivers State Commissioner for Transport, has tendered his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) citing the party’s failed promises to tackle insecurity, corruption and the injustice he alleged have been fanned by the Muhammadu Buhari government.
The former commissioner, in the resignation letter addressed to the Chairman of the APC Ward 12, Bonny Local Government Area on Monday, disclosed that his decision to quit the party was because of the party’s failed promises to salvage the country from insecurity, corruption and injustice.

Tolofari, who was an active supporter of the former Governor of Rivers state and immediate past Transport Minister, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, stated that insecurity, corruption and injustice now threaten the existence of the country.
He said “Joining the APC was based on personal conviction, but having reviewed the general state of affairs of the APC led government in the country, I’m no longer convinced of my continued stay in the party.

“The APC came on the mantra of anti corruption, justice, equity and insecurity. But today that hope is dashed as insecurity, corruption and injustice stare us squarely in the face and threaten the very existence of our beloved country”.
However, Tolofari thanked Amaechi for giving him the opportunity to serve the party in the state, while wishing the party a successful outcome at the 2023 general election.
“To my dear leaders and die hard party faithful in Bonny who see me as a role model and a loyal party man, I am sorry to disappoint you by my decision. I guess I am human after all, forgive me.

“Although this is a very difficult and painful decision to make but I believe it’s time to move on. Let me also take this opportunity to wish the APC all the best in the forthcoming elections in 2023,” Tolofari said.
