The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has extended the tenure of the party’s Rivers State Caretaker Committee under the chairmanship of Chief Tony C. Okocha for another six months.
A release endorsed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the decision was reached at its 151st meeting held on Wednesday at the National Secretariat in Abuja.
According to the release, the membership of the Caretaker Committee remains as originally constituted:
Chief Tony C. Okocha – Chairman, Chief Eric Nwibani – Secretary, Hon. Chibuike Ikenga, Prince Stephen Abolo, Hon. Silvester Vidin, Senibo Karibi Dan-Jumbo and Miss Darling Amadi.
Reactions are expected as usual to trail this decision which has been interpreted by some to be an indirect handover of the party leadership to those whose loyalty are not absolute.
