There are clear indications that a fresh crisis is rocking the Rivers State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), after a meeting to plan for the scheduled campaign of the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in Port Harcourt on February 15th, 2023 ended in a deadlock on Friday.
Also, some members of the APC PCC led by the Coordinator of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Vanguard popularly called BAT Vanguard in the South-South, Tony Okocha, stormed out of the meeting.
The meeting which was said to be the first at the instance of the state’s APC governorship candidate, Tonye Cole, failed to achieve its purpose due to a disagreement over issues of interest within the party, which includes lack of proper consultation, cohesion, among others.
It was gathered that Cole who convened the meeting, did not show up over alleged ill-health and had delegated Sekonte Davies, former member of the House of Representatives and former Executive Director, Marine and Operations, Nigeria Ports Authority, to preside over the meeting.
