The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has dissolved the executive of the Rivers State chapter of the party.
This was confirmed in a statement released by the party.
NWC also disclosed the establishment of a caretaker committee to supervise the conduct of a congress to choose new excos.
While addressing journalists at the party secretariat on Wednesday, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, said the inauguration of the committee members will take place at the party secretariat on Friday.
Morka, who was flanked by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Duro Ladipo, reeled out the names of Wike’s loyalists as members of the seven-man caretaker committee.
He said, “We have resolved at the NWC meeting that Rivers APC should be dissolved and a caretaker committee put in place. The committee will have Chief Tony Okocha as chairman and Eric Nwibani as Secretary.
“Other members include Chibuike Ikenga, Stephen Abolo, Silvester Vidin, Senibo Dan-Jumbo and Miss Darling Amadi.
“The inauguration of the committee members will take place here at the party secretariat on Friday.”
Morka also said the caretaker committee will hold office for six months until substantive new executive members of Rivers APC are elected into office
