This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday and made available to newsmen.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmaechi is still the leader of the APC in Rivers State. It is impossible to discuss the history of politics in this state, especially regarding the APC, without devoting an entire book to Amaechi\u2019s contributions,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
During the presentation of party flags to candidates in the 21 local government areas ahead of the October 5 local government elections, Beke confirmed that Amaechi is fully aware of the party\u2019s participation in the polls and supports the candidates.<\/p>\n
Reiterating the APC\u2019s commitment to the upcoming elections, Beke noted that all candidates have been screened and deemed qualified by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).<\/p>\n

He called on security agencies to maintain neutrality and ensure free, fair and credible elections.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Beke criticized former governor Nyesom Wike but praised the current governor, Siminalayi Fubara.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThese candidates have been screened by RSIEC and are qualified for the election. Some believe the election will not take place, but that is just a fantasy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI urge security personnel to be vigilant and deter anyone looking to disrupt the peace. Rivers State has faced turmoil under former Governor Wike, but our current governor is God-fearing. Anyone causing trouble will be dealt with by the security forces.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
