The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State have reacted to the mass resignation of some of its members from the party.
TPCN had reported that top members of the party in the state among others had announced their resignation, including allies of factional leaders of the party, the former minster of Transportation, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi and senator Magnus Abe.
Reacting to the development, Chris Finebone, the state publicity secretary of the party, explained that some of those resigning from the party had contributed to success of the party, while others, according to him, had worked to destroy the party in the state.
Finebone said: “There have been some movements, though I cannot term it exodus because that is relative. What is important is that such movements should be carefully appraised. The first individuals are those who added value to APC business while they were here. To them, we wish them well”.
“However, there are also the few who have left much to our relief. These are persons leaving after a tortuous effort by them to kill the APC without success. They even caused us nonappearance on the ballot in 2019.
“To the exit of these particular persons, we say good riddance because they caused the party much more harm than good. Happily, some of them are having a second thought and taking advantage of the ongoing reconciliation effort in our party to retrace their steps.”
