•FCT Minister Nyesom Wike
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – In an apparent move to hand over the Rivers State party structure to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, the National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives (APC) on Wednesday dissolved the party’s Rivers Executives at all levels.
Mr Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary announced this while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the NWC’s meeting.
Morka said the party’s NWC also appointed a seven-member Caretaker Committee to steer the APC’s affairs in Rivers for the next six months.
He said Chief Tony Okocha would serve as the committee’s chairman and Chief Eric Nwibani as its Secretary.
Other members of the committee, he said, were, Mr Chibuike Ikenga, Mr Stephen Abolo, Silvester Vidin, Senibo Karibi Dan-Jumbo and Miss Darling Amadi.
Morka said the caretaker committee was mandated to conduct a comprehensive and fresh electronic party registration of all APC members in the state.
He said the committee was also subjected to the directives of the NWC and entrusted with preparing for the conduct of congresses to facilitate the emergence of new executive committees for the party at various levels in Rivers.
This, he said, was from the ward to the state, adding that the committee would be inaugurated on Friday, November 24, 2023 at the party’s national secretariat.
Sundiata Post reports that the dissolved executives were mainly loyalists of Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, for transportation minister. Amaechi had been leader of APC in Rivers State until the emergence of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s president.
Wike is yet to formally decamp to APC from PDP, where he is party leader in Rivers State.
