Immediate past chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State, Celestine Akpobari stated given reasons why he left the party.
Akpobari who resigned his membership of the party few days ago said attitude of some leaders of the party who don’ t care about others made him to leave the party.
He spoke when he granted audience to some pressure groups within the party in Khana who came to persuade him to come back to the party.
He said: “I’m not happy about the situation where leadership of the party will allow people who already have something to take another while there are people who don’t have anything in the party. For instance, Honourable Asita, who was the Chairman of NIMASA Board, he resigned and went for senate. If you know you will go for senate, why did you take chairmanship of NIMASA board. Now he has resigned from there and Rivers State has lost out.”
“They are just there picking anyone they like not minding those who have nothing at all and that cuts across everywhere because they are the first people Ameachi sees when he wakes up and the last before he goes to bed so they take advantage of that to take everything for only themselves”
Speaking on behalf of the political pressure groups, Mr. Barry Neemana who doubles as the spokesman for Khana APC, called on the former chairman, Akpobari Celestine, to have a second thought on his resolve to quit active politics, stressing that it will be devastating and dream killing on the part of Khana people who are desirous of his leadership if he leaves them halfway.
On his part, the National Coordinator of Akpobari Celestine Support Group, Raphael Lenee, appealed to him to rescind his decision to resign from politics in the interest of the youths, women and men who strongly believe in his political ideology.
