The tension within the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Emeka Beke, the embattled State Chairman, has issued an appeal to the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje. Beke is urging Ganduje to reconsider the recent decision made by the National Working Committee (NWC) to dissolve the existing party leadership structure in the state.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The dissolution, announced by the APC NWC, included the appointment of a caretaker committee to oversee the party’s affairs in Rivers State for a period of six months. Chief Tony Okocha, a figure known for his association with former PDP Governor Nyesom Wike, was named as the head of this caretaker committee.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, Beke, who maintains that the current state executive committee’s tenure has not yet concluded, is challenging the authority of the NWC to dissolve the elected leadership. He contends that, according to the party’s constitution, only the National Executive Committee (NEC) possesses the moral and legal right to take such actions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Expressing his surprise at the NWC’s assertion of having this power, Beke emphasized the need for a reconsideration of the decision, describing it as both shocking and surprising. This development further intensifies the existing political tensions in Rivers State, with notable figures like Nyesom Wike and Rotimi Amaechi playing key roles in the state’s political landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
