The party’s leadership insisted that the court's ruling undermines its authority to manage its internal affairs.


This statement follows a ruling by the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt, which on Monday nullified the sacking of the Emeka Beke-led executive of the APC in the state. The court, presided over by Justice Sika Aprioku, found that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party acted beyond its powers by dissolving the elected executives under Beke's leadership.

The party further noted that the NWC’s actions were in line with its constitutional mandate to ensure proper governance within the party, and therefore, the dissolution of the Emeka Beke-led executive was justified.
