Rivers All Progressive Party APC Acting Chairman Rt. Hon. Igo Aguma has announced his exit from the party.
He made this huge announcement after the supreme court dismissed his appeal challenging the Court of Appeal decision which upturned the High Court judgment that declared me as Acting Chairman of APC in Rivers state.
In a statement signed by him, its reads;
PRESS STATEMENT
1. I have received the Supreme Court judgement which dismissed my Appeal challenging the Court of Appeal decision which upturned the High Court judgment that declared me as Acting Chairman of APC in Rivers state.
2. It is now clear that it is not within the purview of the Court to protect the rights and privileges of members of a political party, in this case, the APC. It is the APC that should protect the rights of her members but has failed to do so.
3. I can not continue to be a member of a Political party that endangers and does not give any form of protection to the rights of its members and has no respect whatsoever for its own constitution at all but chooses to be run against democratic principles intoto for self destructive purposes.
4. Therefore I announce my exit from the All Progressives Congress immediately. To God be the glory.
Signed
Rt. Hon. Igo Aguma
