The All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State chapter has responded to its National Working Committee, NWC, regarding its response to the reinstatement of the Emeka Beke-led executives in the state.
In a statement released on Friday by Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, the state chapter expressed concern that the NWC's response indicates a deviation from the rule of law. The statement voiced disbelief that a major organ of the ruling party could disregard a legitimate court decision in a democratic society, an action it said could deter investors. It emphasized that a business environment cannot thrive without the rule of law.
“With the greatest respect, references made by Mr Fuanter on behalf of the NWC alluding to the existence of a mystery suit which 'sacked' all elected APC Executives in Rivers State and an appeal lodged at the Court of Appeal by the State Chairman challenging same is grossly misleading and should have been produced in court as part of evidence to justify the illegal decision made on November 22 2023.
