November 22, (THEWILL) – The National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the dissolution of the executive of the Rivers State chapter of the party.
The Abdullahi Ganduje-led NWC also disclosed that a caretaker committee that will oversee the conduct of a congress to elect new excos has been put in place.
The development came two months after some chieftains of the party loyal to a former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and led by the state governorship candidate, Tonye Cole, lamented that President Bola Tinubu has subtly sacrificed them for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and his loyalists.
Addressing journalists at the party secretariat on Wednesday, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, announced a seven-member Caretaker Committee to steer the Party’s affairs in the State for the next six months.
Members of the caretaker committee believed to be loyalists of the FCT Minister comprises Chief Tony C. Okocha – Chairman, Chief Eric Nwibani – Secretary, Hon. Chibuike Ikenga, Prince Stephen Abolo, Hon. Silvester Vidin, Senibo Karibi Dan-Jumbo and Miss Darling Amadi
Morka disclosed that the Caretaker Committee is mandated to conduct a comprehensive and fresh electronic party registration of all members in the State.
“The Caretaker Committee subject to the directives of the NWC was entrusted with preparing for the conduct of congresses to facilitate the emergence of new Executive Committees for the Party at various levels, extending from the ward to the State,” he said.
Morka said the inauguration of the committee members will take place at the party secretariat in Abuja on Friday, November 24, 2023.
