The Rivers State Chapter of The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it will not be distracted by the recent comments of Governor Nyesom Wike, on the disqualification of the Governor of Edo state from participating in the APC governorship primaries in Edo state.
A statement by caretaker Chairman of APC in Rivers State, Igo Aguma stated that there is a revolution in the APC spearheaded by the National Chairman which must not be truncated.
Governor Wike had on Monday come out hard on the Nigeria Governor’s Forum and the APC for condoning injustice following the Disqualification of Gov. Obaseki from contesting in the APC primary.

The party stated that it was morally wrong for a group of people to work for the election of any politician and then be abandoned.
Rivers APC noted that it was unfortunate that the crisis in Edo state had been allowed to fester to the extent that 14 legislators of same Party that brought the Governor to power have been locked out of the state Assembly despite efforts by stakeholders to intervene noting that the step has denied the people of their respective constituencies representation in the government of Edo state.
