A chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has commended the
party’s national leader, Bola Tinubu, national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, and
others for shunning the opening of “an illegal Rivers APC Parallel Secretariat”
by Senator Magnus Abe.
Eze, in a statement issued on
Wednesday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, recalled that Abe and his
group had claimed that great leaders of the party would not only grace the
commissioning but would play active roles during the event.
Eze, former spokesman of the
defunct New PDP (nPDP), described as most unfortunate the decision of Abe, the
Senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District, to open the office
“despite being aware that the party has a functional State Secretariat
occasioned by a legal Congress sanctioned and monitored by the National
leadership of APC”.
“I am shocked that Senator Abe,
who is a respected legal practitioner, could involve himself in such an
illegality and rascality of opening a parallel State Secretariat of a party
that is very much united.”
He noted that for a parallel or
factional party to exist, there must be a parallel congress conducted by the
aggrieved party members, saying that was not done by Abe and his supporters.
“Opening a parallel State
Executive in the circumstance is not only mischievous, ill-conceived, sad and
illegal but is also tantamount to anti-party activities, which is a very
serious offence if the party’s constitution is to be strictly followed”, the
chieftain added.
Eze appealed to Abe to remember
the efforts that were made to accommodate him and his supporters in the conduct
of the congresses in Rivers State and allow peace to reign instead of playing
into the hands of Governor Nyesom Wike, “knowing the evil omen that his
government represents to Rivers State and her people.”
He advised the lawmaker and his
supporters to explore the provisions of the constitution of the party in
seeking redress for whatever grievances he may have against the party instead
of pursuing a course which they may later regret.
