Rivers APC factions back to trenches | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

• Stakeholders Agree To Defer Congress

Early signs that full scale hostilities would soon resume between factions of party, occurred when Amaechi, shortly after he was sworn in as minister announced to his supporters at a reception in Abuja, to go home and begin to prepare for congresses as part of efforts to rebuild and reposition the party in Rivers State.

“A few days ago, when the ministers were sworn in and the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, announced that there will be congress in Rivers State on the 17th September and that everybody should go and prepare for congress and that only those who deliver in the congress will get something. I was amazed and amused.

A chieftain of the party, former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Worgu Boms, has expressed disenchantment with seemingly hegemonic politics in the APC, and has vowed to do everything and anything that he can in a civilize way to show he opposes the way things are being done. Now, rather than start all over under his leadership to put this party together, himself and his leadership want to deepen the crisis of APC in Rivers State. I feel that the national party is not interested in Rivers APC. They are not interested in winning election. I am not interested in being in a party and sitting down in the name of a party. We must tell the national party they are at war with us, not any faction of APC in Rivers state.

“In the National Executive Committee, it was agreed in 2017, that in any state where they were not able to conduct congresses, that existing officers should remain in office. It is on record, it is in their record. Now, they have set up caretaker committee that is not in our constitution. And we call ourselves law-abiding party that is leading the country. We should be ashamed of ourselves at the national level. That caretaker committee is not for Rivers State,” he said.

Amaechi, who is accused of singlehandedly nominating all caretaker committee members, said Abe is exhibiting apprehension for the forthcoming congresses.
