The chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Rivers State said the party has been reduced to a laughing stock by some “shameless and greedy leaders” of the party who visit the state on Governor Nyesom Wike’s invitation to commission state new projects.

“Sir, it is shameful to disclose, that any time these greedy leaders of the party with anti-party activities running in their veins, which is their stock in politics trade, visits Rivers State, they will openly make condemnation and scurrilous remarks and inquiries, thereby demoralizing the spirited, motivated and concerted effort of APC members in Rivers State, all in an attempt to please River State Governor Nyesom Wike, their pay-master,” state chairman Hon Emeka Beke said in a protest document to the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, on Tuesday.
Mr. Beke was reacting to comments made by the former National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, and Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi when they visited the state to commission projects executed by The River state Governor Mr. Nyesome Wike.
Mr. Emeka Beke in the note requests an “unreserved public apology” from Messrs Umahi and Oshiomhole for campaigning against the party in the state, or in other advice options the suspension of the duo for “anti-party activities.”
According to Mr. Emeka Beke, Rivers APC was not worried about the regular visit of the party leaders but “they must stop talking trash and campaigning against APC Candidates in Rivers State because they want to over rich themselves anytime they visit Rivers State.”
“Sir, most recently, particularly, on 16 November, Mr. Oshiomhole visited Rivers State on the invitation of Governor Wike to commission the Rumuepirikorm-Ada George Fly-over.
“During the commissioning, he said ‘I have seen the reason why Governor Wike used to win APC in Rivers State. Mr. Wike has very strong and energetic youths he is working with, which he used to win my party. Wike, will you permit me to go with some of them from Rivers State to Edo State.’
“Subsequently, on 22 November, Dave Umahi, visited Rivers State on the invitation of Mr. Wike to commission the Akpabu-Omudioga-Egbeda Road and he said ‘Governor Nyesome Wike you have tried so much in various aspects of the state, the only day you will see me in Rivers State campaigning is the day we will come here for the Presidential Campaign rally, apart from that, you will not see me again because all other positions, you will win.”
Mr. Beke said both statements were made on live television and that the party’s national leadership cannot pretend not to be aware of it.
