The factional chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Prince Peter Odike, one of the Founding Father’s of APC the state, has congratulated the National Working Committee of the Party on the decision to settle the crisis of the Party-State once and for all.
Odike who belonged to the factional loyal to the immediate past senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Magnus Abe, reportedly broke rank with his former faction and moved to the faction loyal to the minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
The party chieftain in a statement on Wednesday said “Let me also congratulate the Caretaker Committee as headed 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 a 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.”
