“Describes the exercise as huge Success”
The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has read several reactions based on the conduct and outcome of her just concluded non elective Wards/LG Congress held on 29th July, 2017 in all the 23 Local Government Areas of the State.
The party observed with misgiving some of the reactions which were calculated attempts by external forces to discredit an excerise that was held not only with the best democratic practices but an excerise that was done in a very peaceful manner in the Local Government Headquarters of the party.
The party felt displeased that this program that was widely advertised to hold in the Local Government Areas of the State and surprisingly instead of most of our party chieftains mobilising their supporters and associates to the venues of this congress in their Local Government Headquarters preferred to mobilise them to Port Harcourt for reasons the leadership of the party is still at a loss to fathom. What may have led to this if not as a calculated attempt to discredit the party, create unwarranted tension and division among party faithful.
The party further stated that contrary that were presented to the world that no party member or leader was denied participation or access to the venues were the Congress was conducted based on the reports we got from the party’s officials that monitored the excerise.
“Let us state that as much as we don’t intend to exchange words with anybody or group of persons over this excerise, we wish to reiterate that our political party in the State is not only united but very focused to ensure that we don’t fall into the pranks that caused us the 2015 general elections in the State as we are very determined to ensure that the current government in Rivers State is shown the way out come 2019 to enable us restore the creditability and honour of Rivers State and her people”. Rivers APC said in a statement signed by the State Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, and released on Tuesday in Port Harcourt.
The party pleads with members that are disenchanted in any form with the outcome of the Congress to unite with the party in her drive and mission to sustain democracy and salvage our dear State from the Draconian Government currently operating in the State. This notwithstanding, the party reiterated that it will not be deterred, dissuaded or distracted in this mission to salvage our State from the hands of those who have turned her into Rivers of Blood and a laughing stock amongst comity of nations particularly within the States in Nigeria no matter the outbursts and actions of most of the people that have benefitted so much from the party.
The party also described the attacks on the leader of the party in the State, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi the incumbent Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as unnecessary, unwarranted and misplaced as we can’t forget in a hurry the risk and trouble the leader took in repositioning the party in the State. The party is and will ever support every democratic effort by the leader to ensure that we succeed in our common mission of taking over the Brick House come 2019.
The party formally present to the public the names of the candidates that were duly elected during the excerise of 29th July, 2017 and congratulated these great sons and daughters of Rivers State and urge them to be focussed and carry out their functions for the betterment of both the State and the nation at large.
