As the gale of resignation rocking the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, continues, two former members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Chief Friday Nkee-ee and Dr. Chigbo Sam-Eligwe have resigned from the party.
Nkee-ee represented Khana State Constituency 2 in the 7th Rivers State Assembly while Eligwe represented Ahoada West State Constituency.
According to a letter addressed to the APC chairman in Ward 5 Khana local government area, Nkee-ee said the APC has no value for it’s members.
” It is unreasonable to continue to remain in a family that does not value your person and contribution to the sustainability, stability and growth of the family,” he said.
While assuring that his next political destination would be disclosed soon, he however, said his support for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains non-negotiable.
Eligwe on his part said he has watched the party being run as a fiefdom where one individual controls everything.
He said his hope of joining the party to serve the needs of his constituency has been dashed and as such, can no longer standby and watch helplessly.
His resignation letter addressed to the APC chairman of Ahoada-West Ward 10 reads in part.
“Since 2015, I have watched the party being run like a fiefdom where one individual has complete control over all decisions regarding party positions, employment opportunities and contracts,” he said.
Other high-profile defections that has hit the party in the last seven days includes; Dr. Dawari George, Barrister Golden Ngozi Chioma, Elder Chidi Wihioka, Dame Ibim Semenitari, Comrade Celestine Akpobari, Comrade Marvin Yorbana amongst others.
