The APC in Rivers State says the Supreme Court’s decision which threw out the claim of Hon. Igo Aguma to the chairmanship of the APC Caretaker Committee is a welcome development.
Reacting to the decision of the Apex Court, the Spokesman of the party, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke said the APC has been vindicated by the ruling of the Apex Court.
“The truth has come to light. The truth is that Hon Igo Aguma did not have the locus standi to declare himself as chairman. It also demonstrates that the presiding Judge who planted Igo Aguma as chairman of the Caretaker Committee erred in law in reaching that decision.
Chief Nwuke remarked that Igo Aguma ‘s disgraceful quest for power, relying on the manipulation of the law, has ended as a mere academic exercise
“We have always known that Igo Aguma and his co – travellers were out to waste the time of the court.
“We are glad that the Supreme Court has seen through the antics of the Pro-Abe group and accordingly thrown out the matter.
“The APC National Secretariat acted well within its powers when it appointed the Caretaker Committee headed by Isaac Abot Ogbobula.
“It is now clear to all that the Port Harcourt High Court presided over by Justice George Omereji erred in law when it introduced a meddlesome interloper in the person of Hon. Igo Aguma as the Caretaker Committee Chairman of the Rivers APC in total disregard of the provisions of the party’s Constitution which bestows that right exclusively on the National Secretariat.
“We hope that Hon. Golden Ben Chioma who is masquerading as a chairman or acting chairman would get the message. He came with Igo Aguma. He should quietly pack up his bags and leave now that the head of the hydra – headed snake has been cut off.
“On the whole, it is a bright new day for the Rivers APC and a positive indication that better days are coming”, the statement concluded.
