APC is not fielding candidates for any of the elections in Rivers following a court order.
Members of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State are to support the African Action Congress in the Saturday’s governorship election, party leader Rotimi Amaechi declared on Wednesday, providing an alternative platform for members.
The candidate of the AAC whom Mr Amaechi, Nigeria’s transport minister, asked APC members to support is Awara Biokpomabo, who hails from troubled Akuku Toru Local Government Area. “This morning, the leadership of the party met and agreed that we would work with a party called African Action Congress , while we are still in court to reclaim our mandate,” said Mr Amaechi as quoted by The Nation.
“The moment the governorship election is won by AAC’s candidate this Saturday and the new governor is inaugurated on May 29, 2019, by June this year; there will be local government’s chairmanship and councillorship elections.He was reported to have maintained silence over the House of Assembly elections.
