2023: APC Youths Warn Those Planning To Truncate Buni-led Caretaker Committee’s Roadmap

The All Progressives Congress Youth Development and Solidarity Vanguard has issued warning to those it described as troublemakers to quit their quest to jeopardize Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Convention Planning Committee’s roadmap for the party.

The group also vowed to stop anyone who imports thugs and miscreants into Abuja from Lagos or Kano States to stop the Committee from carrying out its duties to project the APC for victory ahead of 2023.

The APC Youth, Development and Solidarity Vanguard issued the strong warning at a press conference in Abuja today.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Hon. Tobias Ogbeh, the Secretary-General, passed a vote of confidence on the Gov. Buni-led committee, noting that it has already surpassed expectations.

Ogbeh said the Committee has quelled the crisis in APC, united faithful and set the party on the path for ground breaking success in 2023.

The statement read in part: “We like to state categorically from the onset that we’re hundred percent behind the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led All Progressives Congress Caretaker and Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee. We believe in its ability to deliver on the assignment that our great party has entrusted to it.

“For the avoidance of doubt, it’s on record that the Caretaker Committee under Governor Buni’s leadership has consistently lived up to expectation. Save for its nomenclature, it has delivered value to the party on a scale that challenges the performance of a full-fledged EXCO.

“Sadly, from the inception of the Committee, there has been an unrelenting war by enemies of the APC to undermine the body in the hope that they’ll sabotage the party by doing so.

“These saboteurs have packaged their attempts to undermine the party under different guises including launching judicial challenges to the legality of the Committee, questioning its composition, picking holes in its mandates, expressing doubts in its timelines, and dismissing the outcomes it’ll deliver even before it has properly started its work.”

Why We’re Impeaching Fubara — Rivers Assembly

The Rivers State House of Assembly has given reasons for the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The Majority Leader of the Assembly, Major Jack, said the decision to impeach the governor and his deputy was based on their alleged persistent violation of the peace agreement brokered by President Bola Tinubu.

Jack made the allegation during plenary on Thursday while presenting the report detailing acts of misconduct against the governor.

According to him, Governor Fubara and his deputy had repeatedly disregarded the resolutions reached during reconciliation efforts aimed at restoring stability in the state.

He accused the two leaders of running the affairs of government without commitment to transparency and good governance.

“The governor and his deputy have continued to act in a manner that undermines democratic principles and accountability,” Jack said.

He further alleged that the peace deals facilitated by President Tinubu were breached on several occasions, including agreements reached during reconciliation meetings held in December 2023 and another in 2025.

Jack insisted that the continued failure of the governor and his deputy to honour the terms of the peace accord necessitated the impeachment process currently before the Assembly.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State chapter, has vehemently rejected the move by the State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy.

The Assembly had earlier on Thursday commenced an impeachment process against Fubara over alleged misconduct.

The impeachment notice is expected to be issued to the governor and his deputy in the next seven days.

Reacting, the Rivers APC, in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, rejected the move.

“Our position as at today on this matter is that we solemnly reject the resort to an impeachment process against our governor and his deputy.

“It will be totally untenable for our party to keep quiet when an obvious hangover from strifes that occurred within the PDP are allowed to resurface in our great party,” Darlington said.

He added that the ruling party “will do everything possible to ensure that the Government of Rivers State, which is an APC government, is not destabilized”

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, says God will not allow “bad people” prevail in Rivers State.

Wike made the statement on Thursday during his ‘thank-you-visit’ to the Bonny Island area of Rivers State.

“I appreciate you because you have shown me love and shown that you are people that can be trusted.

“I have told people that I don’t believe in generalizing, if for example somebody in Bonny disappoints you, you said Bonny people are bad, that’s very wrong.

“There are different kinds of people.There are places you have armed robbers, you have good people who stay there. So you can’t say because someone is bad so everyone there is bad. That’s not it.

“The good people are more in number than the few people who want to rub us black, but God, in His infinite mercy, will not allow evil to prevail over light,” he said.

Wike’s statement is coming after the Rivers State House of Assembly began impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
