Abe Faction Vows To Boycot APC Congress, As Factional Chairman Dumps Him by Upritman(op): 12:03pm On Sep 12, 2019
Information Parrot Nigeria

The faction of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State loyal to Senator Magnus Abe has vowed  not to participate in the party’s congresses expected to begin on September 17.

This was disclosed by a former Attorney General of the state, Worgu Boms who spoke on behalf of the faction. Mr. Boms said it was wrong for the National Working Committee of the party  to fix dates for congresses  without resolving the crisis in the party in the state.

A communique read by Mr.Boms reads below in part:

“The party is again treading the route of exclusion and disdain for the rights and feelings of members. This plunged Rivers APC into a needless crisis, resulting in the party being denied participation in the general elections.

“As critical stakeholders, bearing in mind the circumstance of the party in the state, we were not consulted by   the  NWC in appointing a caretaker committee in Rivers nor does the committee reflect the diversity of the party in the state.

 “The so-called caretakers are simply cronies of the Minister of Transportation (Rotimi Amaechi). Their objective and purpose is clear; they were  parties and participants in the actions that brought the party on its knees in Rivers.

“We urge all members of  the APC in Rivers to remain steadfast in pursuit of justice. Based on extant judicial procurement and the Governor  Solomon Lalong’s Committee report adopted by the NWC, where congresses could not hold, existing executives manage the affairs of the party. Chief Odike, by the rules, should have been consulted as Chairman, Rivers APC.”

Meanwhile, a report reaching Information Parrot Nigeria indicates that the Chairman of the Senator Abe faction of Rivers State APC, Chief Peter Odike has dumped that faction and vowed to work with the mainstream of the party in the state led by the minister of Transportation, Mr.Rotimi Amaechi.

Chief Odike who was a deputy chairman during the tenure of the former excecutive led by Chief Davies Ibiamu became a tool used by the Abe Faction to achieve its pursuit which eventually led the party into having no candidates for the 2019 polls.

However, Chief Odike confirming his new decision said:

"We have suffered as a Party. It's time for us to rebuild the party. There is no Victor, no Vanquished." "we can't continue like this."

He maintained that the only way for the party to overcome it's challenges is to embrace peace and work with the Caretaker Committee.

Senator Magnus Abe was yet to react to the new move by Chief Odike as at press time

Chidi Wihioka and Abe are in the same group and faction that claims to be APC members.

But every function of Wike and PDP Chidi Wihioka is always there, yesterday he was with Wike and PDP at Ubima for a function.

All Abe's supporters speaks for PDP and so many of them were appointed into Wike's second term inauguration.

And tomorrow Abe, Chidi Wihioka and their group will still claim APC.

New congress of APC they don't want, NWC gives statement they criticise.
