We Are Ready To Assist Fubara, Make Sure He Joins APC – Eze To Emeka Beke

Former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has urged the newly-reinstalled Rivers APC executive committee led by Emeka Beke to ensure that Governor Siminalayi Fubara joins the national ruling party.

He also urged the committee to formalize the membership of the 27 lawmakers led by Martins Amaewhule.

The APC chieftain stated this while reacting to the judgment of a State High Court in Port Harcourt, which affirmed the position of Beke and his team as the lawfully recognized state chairman and executive committee members, respectively, of the APC in the state.

Speaking via a statement on Tuesday, Eze pleaded with the National Working Committee of the party to respect the court judgment and accord Beke’s executive all the necessary support to move the party forward.

He said, “We will not tolerate any undue interference in Rivers State APC affairs, particularly by giving offices to non-members of APC like Tony Okocha and his misguided co-travelers who are not registered members of the party.”

Eze said that now that sanity has been restored to APC in Rivers State, the leadership should “Lobby Governor Sim Fubara to join the party instead of any other political party, as we are ready to assist him in any way possible to move the state forward.”

Eze described the judgment as having “Sent shockwaves down the spines of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and his collaborators at the APC National Working Committee, as their attempts to bribe judicial officers failed in this instance.”

He called the threat by Tony Okocha to appeal the judgment “the joke of the year,” stating that it is merely a last-ditch effort by a drowning man looking for anything to hold on to.
