The huge crack in the Rivers State APC, after weeks of
neglect has come out in the open. The APC Legacy Parties, comprising of the
former ACN, ANPP and CPC parties in the state have not only distanced
themselves from the just concluded APC
congresses and newly installed executives, but have also taken a bold step to
dump the APC and seek refuge in the PDP. In a communiqué signed and released by
the leaders; which was also sent to SHOWBIZPLUSng, the APC legacy parties stated that they have unanimously accepted to work its way
into the PDP, through the guidance of Prince Tonye Princewill who has also
received a copy of this communiqué.
The members while complaining of the undemocratic activities
in the State APC; came up with the following resolutions:
“1. Since our values and
presence are not recognized in APC but tolerated, that we should locate an
alternative political platform where our interest can be protected and
guaranteed.
2. That we should identify
with Prince Tonye T.J.T Princewill as our Leader that will guide and lead us to
PDP.
3. That we should support
the Emergence of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for 2015 and urge him to
contest the general election as to complete the good works he is currently
doing in our Nation.”
This is a welcomed
development, as Prince Tonye Princewill has already begun talks with the
leadership of the PDP on ways and modalities to absorb and engage the new
converts. It may interest you to know that the APC legacy parties with a
population of over 100,000 members, formed the now APC, but were sidelined on
the entrance of the defected PDP members. This was evident during the APC
congresses where members of the legacy parties were denied entrance and
participation in the exercise.
This new development, according to a very reliable insider, who spoke with our reporter, has unsettled Governor Rotimi Amaechi and his camp, thus making them jittery.
