The factional Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, in Rivers State, Prince Peter Odike, has dumped Senator Magnus Abe.
Odike who gave his reasons in a statement released to media houses, said the time has come for all and sundry to work for the betterment of the party.
Excerpt of his statement reads:
RIVERS APC: TIME TO FORGE AS ONE
I, Prince Peter Odike, one of the Founding Father’s of APC in Rivers State, and the Acting Chairman of the Party in the State hereby congratulate the National Wotking Committee of our great Party on the decision to settle the crisis of the Party in our State once and for all. Let me also congratulate the Caretaker Committee as headed by by Barr Isaac Abot Ogbogbula on their appointment.
I wish therefore advise the Committee that the task before them demands that they be fair, democratic and firm in the discharge of their duty. The public may be reminded that our position has always been to open the democratic space for all eligible to participate in. Posterity will hold the committee responsible if they fail to do so.
May I therefore urge all APC members to embrace this opportunity that has been provided in order for us to be the formidable Party that we all yearn for.
In the coming days, I will once more, be meeting with the leader of the Party, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as well as other leaders and stakeholders of our Party to ensure that we do not miss this golden opportunity to be the great force that we are. Like Apostle Paul said, “shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid, we shall …” it is time we think Rivers State and Rivers APC, and compound our forces, to make Rivers State great.
God bless APC Rivers State!
God bless Rivers State!!
God bless Nigeria!!
