APC sacks Amaechi’s loyalists, appoints caretaker c’ttee for Rivers

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dissolved the Rivers State executives of the party at all levels.

The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, made this known while briefing journalists after the meeting of the NWC at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday.

The party’s chieftains sacked by the APC are loyalists of the former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi.

Morka said the APC NWC has appointed a seven-member caretaker committee to steer the party’s affairs in Rivers State for the next six months.

He stated that Tony Okocha was appointed as the chairman of the caretaker committee, while Eric Nwibani was named the Secretary.

Morka, who read out the party’s decision signed by the APC National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, and the Deputy National Secretary, Festus Fuanter, disclosed that the committee is mandated to conduct a comprehensive and fresh electronic party registration of all members in Rivers 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,” the APC spokesman said.

He added that the committee will be inaugurated at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Friday, November 24, 2023.
