The reinstated Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Emeka Beke, has accused Tony Okocha, the party’s former Caretaker Committee Chairman, of executing the script of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Beke made this statement on Tuesday while featuring on Arise TV’s morning show.
He vowed to take charge and stabilize the party in the state.
Beke said, “I have taken over the leadership of the party in the state and will ensure I stabilize the party.
“Tony Okocha is playing Wike’s script, he’s not a member of our party.
“My name is Emeka Beke, and I still remain the Chairman of APC in Rivers State, IPAC is meeting today and I will attend as chairman of the party.
The party leader also spoke on the alleged association of Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi with Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
According to Beke: “I worked with Rotimi Amaechi and he is my leader, and he has no link with Fubara.
“If he extends a hand of fellowship to APC, we will work with him and develop the state. We can’t continue fighting; Rivers is going backwards.
“You can’t have two governors in one state, even if your own son is made governor, you should allow him to function.
“We have finished the politicking; it’s now time for governance.”
The Rivers State High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt, had on Monday dismissed the APC seven-member Caretaker Committee led by Okocha, which was appointed by the National Working Committee of the APC.
Justice Sika Aprioku, in a ruling on a suit filed by Sam Sam Etetegwung and others on behalf of the APC executive in the state, reinstated the executive led by Beke as the legitimate leadership of the party in Rivers State.
