Rivers Newly-Inaugurated APC Caretaker Chairman is not our Member – Spokesperson reacts

The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Darlington Nwauju, has revealed that the newly-appointed chairman of the caretaker committee of the party in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, is not a member of the party.

He said this in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today

Recall that the National Working Committee of the ruling APC, on Friday, inaugurated members of the caretaker committee for the Rivers State chapter of the party after announcing their appointment days before.

Okocha, who is reported to be a great supporter of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike, was made chairman and Eric Nwibani Secretary of the seven-man caretaker committee.

He said, “As I speak to you, the number one person on the caretaker committee list is not a member of the APC. Tony Okocha left the party and joined forces with Magnus Abe against the party. Everybody in Rivers State is aware that the man never campaigned for any of the candidates of the APC in Rivers State.

“So how can a man who worked against the APC now turn around to lead the APC. Which of the APC is he going to lead? It is not about the person of Tony Okocha, but the legality of the action of Ganduje NWC.
