Rivers APC faction to challenge sacking at Supreme Court

 

The Igo Aguma-led faction of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has said it would go to the Supreme Court to challenge his sack as the state caretaker chairman by the Court of Appeal.‎

The Court of Appeal in Abuja had on Tuesday sacked Aguma as the caretaker chairman of the APC in the state.

The court equally declared the Rotimi Amaechi faction, led by Isaac Abbot-Ogbobula, as the authentic leadership of the party in Rivers State. ‎

Reacting to the court verdict in a statement by a former House of Assembly member, Golden Chioma, Anuma said the ruling would be challenged at the apex court.

Parts of the statement read, “We have been briefed on the Court of Appeal judgement today in Abuja.

“All party faithful in Rivers State should remain calm and resolute as we have already instructed our lawyers to appeal the judgements at the Supreme Court while we continue with our preparations for the 2021 local government election in Rivers state.

“APC must be on the ballot and there is no going back.”‎
