In response, Lukman accused the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) of dissolving the Rivers State Executives to pave the way for Minister Nyesom Wike to assume control of the party’s structure…CONTINUE READING

The APC dissolved the state executives across all levels last week and appointed a seven-member Caretaker Committee, with Tony Okocha heading the committee for the next six months.

In a statement titled ‘End of Progressive Politics,’ Lukman accused President Bola Tinubu and National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje of promoting “Garrison Politics” within the party.

He contended that the NWC’s actions suggested they were setting the stage for Nyesom Wike to become the new party leader.

Lukman pointed out that Okocha, alleged to be a supporter and ally of Wike, led a delegation of Wike’s loyalists to a courtesy visit with National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje on October 6, 2023. During the visit, Okocha claimed that Rotimi Amaechi worked against President Bola Tinubu in the last election.

He highlighted that, irrespective of these allegations, it was widely known that Amaechi and other APC Presidential aspirants for the 2023 elections had taken a backseat as President Tinubu showed no interest in collaborating with them.

Lukman stated, “Given all these unfolding developments in APC, it is very clear that the NWC decision, dissolving Rivers State Executives of the party at all levels, is preparing the stage for the emergence of Barr. Wike as the new leader of APC in Rivers State.”

“With Chief Okocha, who is alleged to be a political ally of Barr. Wike given the responsibility of serving as Caretaker Chairman, it simply means that all the new emerging executives for APC at all levels in Rivers State will be Barr. Wike’s supporters. This is the dirty politics at play in Rivers State.”

“With such reality, it simply means, the structures of APC in FCT will also be dissolved to produce new APC leaders at all levels of the party who will be loyal to Barr. Wike.
