This is contained in a statement by the Deputy National Secretary of the party, Mr
Festus Fuanter, in Abuja, after the National Working Committee, NWC,
closed-door meeting.
Recall that the Rivers High Court had dismissed the Tony Okocha-led Caretaker
Committee and reinstated the dissolved Beke-led executive.
According to the Deputy National Secretary, Beke had previously been removed by
another court and had filed an appeal but chose not to await its outcome, instead
engaging in an abuse of court processes.
He stressed the party only recognized its Tony Okocha-led Rivers Caretaker
Committee, established to oversee its affairs in the state.
According to him, the party’s NWC had scheduled its National Executive Committee
,NEC, meeting for September 12, subject to the approval of President Bola Tinubu, the
party’s national leader.
He added that the NWC discussed the issue and agreed that the party’s Caucus will
meet on September 11 ahead of its NEC meeting.
