APC dissolves Rivers exco, inaugurates seven-member caretaker committee
The All Progressives Congress’ National Working Committee on Wednesday in Abuja dissolved the party’s Rivers State executives at all levels.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka, announced the dissolution while briefing journalists on the outcome of the NWC’s meeting.
Mr Morka said the party’s NWC also appointed a seven-member caretaker committee to steer the party’s affairs in the state for the next six months.
He stated that Chief Tony Okocha would serve as the committee’s chairman and Chief Eric Nwibani as its secretary. He further said that other members of the committee were Mr Chibuike Ikenga, Mr Stephen Abolo, Silvester Vidin, Senibo Karibi Dan-Jumbo and Miss Darling Amadi.
Mr Morka noted that the caretaker committee was mandated to conduct a comprehensive and fresh electronic party registration of all APC members in the state.
He said the committee was also subjected to the directives of the NWC and entrusted with preparing for the conduct of congresses to facilitate the emergence of new executive committees for the party at various levels in the state.
The development he stated was from the ward to the state, adding that the committee would be inaugurated on Friday, November 24, 2023 at the party’s national secretariat.
