The All Progressives Congress (APC) may end up not having candidates for the governorship, Senate, House of Representatives, and House of Assembly elections in Rivers State in 2019, going by the Supreme Court ruling and other pending legal hurdles before the party.
The Supreme Court ruling on Monday invalidated the stay of execution order issued by the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt, against an earlier order of a high court in Rivers which nullified the APC congress in the state.

The legal battle in the oil-rich state is part of the power-struggle within the APC between Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, and Magnus Abe, a senator from the state.

Mr Abe wants to run for the governorship of the state under the APC.

But Mr Amaechi, a former governor of the state, who controls the recognised party structure there, is against the senator’s ambition.
While Mr Amaechi has allegedly been applying rough tackles to shut Mr Abe and his supporters out of the party, the senator is using the court to fight back, and he seems to be successful in it, as evidenced by the Supreme Court ruling.

The high court order on the party’s congress, which has just gotten the Supreme Court backing, nullified the APC congress which produced the current state chairman of the party, Ojukaye Amachree, who is Mr Amaechi’s ally.The

The Apex court of our land has decided, INEC now needs to do the needful. No candidates for APC in Rivers just like Zamfara.

God has truly shown mercy on Rivers people, considering how Amathief would have killed thousands in that state during the 2019 elections, just so he could plant his tool Tonye Cole as Governor.

LOOTimi Amaechi never see anything. When we ATIKUlate in 2019 we will make sure he vomit the N150 billion he stole from the Rivers State treasury to sponsor the lifeless one election in 2015. How did someone who used to watch plate in Mary Odili's kitchen prior to 1999 came about such huge money, he would have to explain in due time.


May God bless our incoming President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

APC can NEVER win PDP in the Supreme Court. NEVER!!!

What APC needs to do is to seek for a party that will allow all their candidates contest. After winning the election, decamp back to APC. Simple thing.

Tonye must win next year.

Ikwerre agenda

Ameachi na crab. Make Apc go die

Back to Daura is a collective responsibility of all well meaning Nigerians

APC is only good as an opposition party, they are not meant to handle big and complex thing like Nigeria.

At the moment, its a house of commotion.
There's not ONE APC state at peace after the primaries.

If a party can't handle it's members, how can they handle the entire country?

They should just leave the centre and return to their Regional party status.

APC may as we kiss Rivers goodbye.
