The Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker Chairman, Chief Tony Okocha, is seeking help to address the internal conflict that has been plaguing the party.
Okocha, who made the appeal while speaking with newsmen at the party Secretariate in Abuja frowned at the decision of the court, said it is a hatchet job orchestrated by the state government.
He alleged abuse of court process in the reinstatement of Emeka Beke as chairman of the party by a Rivers State High Court.
“We wrote a petition against the judge on the 20th of March, 2024, alleging bias. We pleaded bias. And other issues. And commendably, when a judge is accused of bias on a particular matter, all he will do is to rescue himself. He hands off,” Okocha said.
Okocha also questioned the judge’s jurisdiction in the matter, he said, “How do you bring somebody who is not a party in its suit? And make an order that will affect the person? You know very well that this is an abnormality.”

He said, “They deliberately refused to include the APC. The reason is that they know if they include APC in the suit, the matter can no longer go on at the high court. It would have gone to the Federal High Court.”
The caretaker committee chairman said he would continue to fight for justice and fairness within the party, urging stakeholders to intervene in the crisis.
