Rivers APC crisis: NWC has not authorized any Appeal- Wechie

Dark days might still be ahead of the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as information available to Africa Update suggests.

The rumors making the rounds that an appeal has been filed to challenge the judgement of a Rivers State High Court, which named Rt Hon. Igo Aguma as the new chairman of the caretaker committee of the party in the state, has been debunked by Livingstone Wechie.

A statement signed by the Media Adviser to the APC Caretaker Committee Chairman Rt. Hon. Igo Aguma, Livingstone Wechie, reads: The attention of the All Progressives Congress APC in Rivers state has been drawn to actions by certain impostors hiding under the guise of having the authority of the National Working Committee of the APC to appeal the judgement of the Rivers state High Court which confirmed Rt. Hon. Igo Aguma as Caretaker Committee Chairman which has all Statutory members of the state Executive Committee in Rivers state as members.

For the records, the national working Committee of the APC has not authorized anybody or group to represent the party or file any appeal against this judgement on behalf of the Party. As such, doing so by anyone will amount to criminal impersonation of the APC National Working Committee. The national working Committee of the APC has not taken any decision whether or not to Appeal the judgement of the Court on this issue. The general public, APC members and all relevant institutions are advised to take notice of this press statement and disregard as well as discountenance these desperate moves by the said individuals seeking to mislead the public and APC members.
