Former State Organizing Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hon. Dandyson Uku and former State Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, and a chieftain of the party in Orashi Region, Hon. Samuel Eyiba, are amongst several others who have taken the bold steps to walk away from the party in Rivers State.
In recent months, the Rivers State Chapter of APC, has suffered tremendous humiliation, as high ranking party members have abandoned the party under the leadership of the former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, to join forces with the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Africa Update was reliably informed about the intentions of other close allies of the former Minister, who might make eleventh hour decisions to abandon the APC. A recent parley with the State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, reinforced the information, as he hinted that a proposed reception of members of APC who have decided to dump the party, will be tagged the “eleventh hour” home coming.
In a picture that was sent to Africa Update, Uku and Eyiba were seen posing for the shots with the Rivers State Nyesom Wike at his private residence.
