BREAKING: Amaechi Left Empty Handed As APC Dissolves Rivers Exco, Puts Wike’s Loyalists In Charge (SEE NAMES OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS)

On Wednesday, former Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, faced another setback as the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) dissolved the Rivers State executive committees of the party at all levels.

The NWC established a caretaker committee composed of loyalists of the former governor of the state and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

Despite being members of different parties, Amaechi and Wike have been in a power struggle for control of Rivers State, with Wike gaining the upper hand recently.

After contesting the APC presidential ticket with Amaechi, President Bola Tinubu chose to collaborate with Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), during the election. Subsequently, Wike became a member of the president’s cabinet.

Following the NWC meeting in Abuja on Wednesday night, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka, informed the press that the caretaker committee would be chaired by Chief Tony Okocha, with Chief Eric Nwibani as secretary.

Other members of the Rivers APC caretaker committee, set to be inaugurated on Friday, include Hon. Chibuike Ikenga, Prince Stephen Abolo, Hon. Silvester Vidin, Senibo Karibi Dan-Jumbo, and Miss Darling Amadi.

Okocha is a staunch supporter and political ally of Wike. He recently led a delegation of Wike’s loyalists on a courtesy visit to the APC National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje in Abuja. During the visit, he accused Amaechi of working against Tinubu in the last election and demanded that Wike be directly reached for appointments rather than Amaechi’s loyalists.

Morka clarified that the caretaker committee is tasked with conducting a comprehensive and fresh electronic party registration of all members in the state.

“The caretaker committee subject to the directives of the NWC was entrusted with preparing for the conduct of congresses to facilitate the emergence of new executive committees for the party at various levels, extending from the ward to the state,” he added.

The APC spokesman said the caretaker committee has six months to deliver on its mandate.
