“It is my view that the appointment of the caretaker of the Committee without the inclusion of the national delegate and SEC is a violation of the party’s constitution.”
The crises rocking the All Progressives Congress, in Rivers state was yet to be over as a State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt declared Igo Aguma, a former member of House of Representatives, chairman of the party in the State.
Aguma had approached the court and prayed it to declare the five-man caretaker committee constituted by the national leadership of the party illegal, stop party’s congresses and also declare him the leader of the party in the State by virtue of his position as the National delegate and statutory member of the party.
The court also compelled the party to allow all members of the party loyal to Sen. Magnus Abe who purchased form for the congresses of the party in 2018 to take part in the Congress to be rescheduled by the party. He noted that the tenure of the caretaker committee of the party elapsed in September, noting that the continuous stay of the caretaker Committee is null and void and injurious.
The judge granted all six prayers of the applicants, ruling that the court can interfere in the internal affairs of the party when the party constitution are not followed.
