The Rivers State chapter of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) said it will not allow outside influences to destabilise party or the administration of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
This is coming after the 26 members of the River State House of Assembly loyal to former Rivers Governor and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike moved a motion for the impeachment Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy Ngozi Odu.
Rivers APC spokesperson Darlington Nwuju who was speaking Friday on Arise Television’s Morning Show, said the Party will not fold its arms and allow any external forces to destabilise the APC government.
“Let me say this clearly for those who are in doubt about the resolve of the APC in Rivers state to ensure that the government of the day in Rivers is not destabilised.
“Then let them take this to the bank that we would not accept, we would not align, we will not also pander to the wishes of any external force, anywhere that will attempt to destabilise the government of Rivers state.
“Like we clearly stated in our statement yesterday, that this governor is not just a member of the All Progressives Congress, but as it stands today, he is the leader of the All-Progressives Congress in Rivers state.
“Now you would recall the series of drama, or the drama series that we’ve been treated to in Rivers state, and that was purely when they were members of the People’s Democratic Party, starting from October 13, 2023, when the drama began, we believe strongly that this should not dovetail into the APC.
“The spirit of PDP cannot be transferred into the APC. We are going to resist it. We reject it. And every Frankenstein monster that attempts to destabilize our party and the leadership of the governor of Rivers State will surely be resisted by every illegal means possible. This is not an emotional thing.”
The Rivers chapter of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) has described the ongoing political crisis in the state as an “ego war” rooted in political disagreements, insisting it is not driven by any single individual or external influence.
Fubara... facing another Wike storm.
