The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, led by Chief Emeka Beke, has reaffirmed its commitment to participating in the October 5 local government election, despite a Federal High Court judgment that attempted to halt the process.
In a letter addressed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Beke emphasized that the suit leading to the court’s decision was filed by Chief Tony Okocha, an individual the party considers an impostor.
Beke explained that Okocha’s suit was part of a broader attempt by some members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to dissolve the duly elected State Executive Committee (SWC) and replace it with a caretaker committee led by Okocha.
