The All Progressives Congress, APC, has nullified the
suspension of the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Andrew
Uchendu and the expulsion of Victor Giadom by the Igo Aguma-led faction of the
party in Rivers.
According to a letter by Dare Oketade, Head Legal Services
of the party title “Purported Suspension Of Rt. Hon . Rotimi Amaechi, Senator
Andrew Uchendu and expulsion Of Hon.Victor Giadom” and addressed to Aguma, the
party said those who purportedly suspending Amaechi and others were not members
of the party.
According to the party, “The attention of the Party has been
drawn, through the social and print media to the purported suspension of Rt.
Hon.Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Andrew Uchendu and the purported expulsion of
Victor Giadom, respectively as members of the Party in Rivers State by some so
called ward executives of the Party.
“We have checked through our records at the National Secretariat and found out that these persons are not officers of the Party in Rivers State. I am therefore directed by the National chairman, His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni, to notify you, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress is led by the Hon. Isaac Abbot Ogbobula who was duly sworn in at the National Secretariat of the Party on the 11th of December 2020 by virtue of the National Executive Committee directives issued at its 8th December 2020 meeting held at the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
“By the
above, I wish to draw you and other Party members in Rivers State attention to
the consequences of impersonation within the Constitution of our Party and the
laws of Nigeria.”
The letter added: “It is therefore in the interest of the
general public and our members in Rivers State that I am further directed to
notify you that all actions purportedly taken by those ward executives, unknown
to the National Headquarters of the Party, and you in the name of the All
Progressives Congress are null and void and of no merit.
“The
Party will henceforth not tolerate any acts which are calculated to disparage
the leaders of the Party or bring the Party to ridicule for whatever motivation.
“May we also bring to your notice that the Party has set up
a reconciliation Committee led by Chief John Odigie Oyegun to embark on the
reconciliation of members in the South South region of our Party. We therefore
urge you and other aggrieved members to approach this committee to ventilate
your grievances, if any.
“The
Party will not hesitate to take necessary disciplinary measures should any
member of the Party in Rivers State continue to take steps in impersonating the
recognized State Caretaker Committee led by Hon. Isaac Abbot Ogbobula or any of
his Local Government or Ward Executives”.
