The chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have applauded the party’s national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, their Rivers state counterpart, Tony Okocha for stability in the party.
The APC state chairmen forum also hailed the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike for his sterling performance which has added value to the administration of President Bola Tinubu over the last one year.
The forum, led by its chairman, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi, and its secretary, Alphonsus Ogar Eba, made their position known at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, yesterday, preceding the submission of a commendation letter to the national chairman.
Speaking on behalf of the forum, its secretary and Cross River State chairman, Eba thanked Ganduje for his firm stance by the decision of the APC Rivers State Executive Committee which suspended the erstwhile executive of Emeka Beke and who was further restrained by Rivers State High Court.
According to him, the forum also singled out Wike as a performing minister of the Tinunu-led Federal Executive Council whose works are visible in all facets such as the massive infrastructural development of the FCT, security measures, human capital development which were highly appreciated.
“The Forum of All Progressives Congress (APC) States Chairmen met yesterday to discuss issues that are of great concern to the party’s democratic ethos and the success of our APC led administration under the able leadership of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his dependable Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima.
“This press briefing will be followed with a commendation letter to the National chairman of our great party in appreciation of his firm stance by the decision of the APC Rivers State Executive Committee which suspended the erstwhile executive of Chief Emeka Beke and who was further restrained by Rivers State High Court.
“To the blind and deaf, the activities of Chief Tony Okocha’s executives in the past seven months have not only made Rivers State APC Chapter one of the most active, resilient and vibrant Chapters but the dynamic leadership of Chief Tony Okocha has given a new lease of life to the doldrums, docility and chicanery that once pervaded the political landscape of APC in Rivers State prior to the 2023 general election.
“As a Forum, we have therefore resolved to join our voices to commend the decision of the National Working Committee in this regard even as we pledge to continue our dialogue with them to grow our democratic ethos to build cohesion and to bring lasting peace in every chapter of our party where there are unresolved issues.
“The Forum also singled out His Excellency Nyesom Wike as a performing Minister of the President Asiwaju led Federal Executive Council whose works are visible in all facets. His massive infrastructural development of the FCT, security measures, human capital development etc are highly appreciated.
“The Forum wishes to use this medium to commend him and to express our deep appreciation and solidarity for his distinctive and excellent delivery as Honourable Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Forum will continue to appreciate everyone that is contributing towards the growth of the party and the success of the administration of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Eba added.
