The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has warned the National Working Committee (NWC) against disobeying a court order that reinstated the Chief Emeka Beke-led executive in the state.
A Rivers State High Court had sacked the Caretaker Committee led by Chief Tony Okocha, recognizing the Beke-led executive as the authentic leadership in the state. However, Okocha rejected the ruling, vowing to appeal.
The state APC Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, slammed the NWC for recognizing the Okocha-led committee, calling it a “national embarrassment” that causes disunity within the party.
Nwauju urged the NWC to seek a neutral interpretation of the court judgment and avoid plans to suspend members of the State Executive Committee or manufacture judgments against them.
The state chapter appealed to the NWC to stop distracting President Bola Tinubu with “ill-timed political innuendos” that do not add value to the Renewed Hope Agenda.
