The All Progressives Congress (APC) chapter in Rivers State has refuted and disputed claims that its state chairman, Emeka Beke, was suspended by a faction of the party in the state.
This came just hours after Beke, Iheanyichukwu Azubuike, the state legal adviser, and Darlington Nwauju, the state publicity secretary, were all suspended by the party’s State Executive Council on Wednesday.
Some members of the State Executive Council had earlier announced the suspension of the State Chairman of the party, Emeka Beke.
The executive members at a media briefing in Port Harcourt also announced the suspension of the Legal Adviser of the party in the state, Iheanyichukwu Azubuike and State Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju.
The Rivers APC spokesman pointed out that, according to the party’s constitution, the State Working Committee (SWC) does not have the powers to suspend any member of the party in the state, as their powers end at recommendation to the National Working Committee (NWC).
