A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Chief Emeka Beke has expressed confidence that the party will win the 2023 gubernatorial election in the state.
Beke also dismissed reports that he has been endorsed by the leader of the party in the state, and by the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi, to emerge chairman in the Saturday State Congress of the party.
The APC chairmanship hopeful said he is rather counting on the goodwill and support he enjoys from political associates due to his dedication and sacrifices made as a foundation member and two term secretary of the party in the state.
He stressed that he would not have bothered himself going from one place to another, consulting and appealing to delegates to vote for him on Saturday if he had been endorsed by the leader of the party as speculated.
Beke also said that he would ensure he reconciles every aggrieved member of the party, and bring them together to forge a common front with the aim of winning the 2023 general election in Rivers State.
He promised to work with every genuine member of APC in the state if he emerges victorious at the congress this weekend.
“I want to work with every member of APC in Rivers State-genuine members, not those who are not genuine members of the party…not those that tomorrow you’re in APC in the morning; in the night you’re in PDP. What the heck are we talking about? People should have integrity.”
“If I emerge as chairman of APC, my first assignment is to reach out to every member of the party, including those of them running election with me. I’m going to reconcile every aggrieved member of the party.
“The interest is for us to put the party together and win the 2023 general elections; I can assure that APC will win 2023 election in Rivers State.”
Others contesting alongside Beke for the chairmanship position of the party includes; Hon. Chizzy Nyeomasila and Hon. Golden Ngozi Chioma.
