Delta APC crises: Committee urged to make appropriate recommendation to party NEC

THE Publicity Secretary of the Chief Joseph Adolor
Okotie-Eboh led faction of the Delta State All
Progressive Congress, APC, Mr. Alex Eyengho,
yesterday, at Oleh, Isoko South local government
area of Delta State advised the Mr. O. G. Ngofa led
Six-Man Fact-Finding Committee to make appropriate
recommendation to the National Working
Committee, NEC, of the party.

Eyengho who gave this advice during the Delta South
fact finding meeting held in Oleh, Isoko North local
government area, attributed the crises rocking the
Delta APC over the years to those who were not part
of the legacy parties but few members of the
Democratic Peoples Party, DPP who came with the
sole aim of hijacking the party.

While urging the Chairman of the fact-finding
committee and also the National Deputy Secretary of
the APC, Mr. O.G. Ngofa to hear from all stakeholders
of the party in the state, Eyengho posited that the
merger parties that came together to form the All
Progressive Congress were ACN, ANPP and CPC,
saying there was no time DPP was part of the legacy
parties.

Eyengho said, "Before the merger, the Chairman of
the former Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN now APC,
in Delta State was Chief Joseph Adolor Okotie-Eboh.
And at that time, ACN was the only visible and main
opposition party in Delta and across the country. It is
these three political parties that occupied the
executive position of the All Progressive Congress
except in Delta State where it was hijacked by
defectors who came in with money. "And this was
what also led to the court action filed by the Okotie-
Eboh led faction where Prophet Jones Erue led
executive, national body of APC and INEC were taken
to court, where the court gave judgment that
disbanded the Prophet Erue led APC executive and
ordered for a fresh congress to elect new executive.
"We are not ignorant of the fact that Prophet Jones
Erue's chairmanship emanated from a congress held
in one of the churches in Asaba while Chief Okotie-
Eboh's chairmanship was held at the party's
secretarial, Asaba, and that was what gave birth to
the parallel state executives that the party has been
battling with over the years.

"So, we are appealing to the Ngofa led fact-finding
committee to make appropriate recommendation
from the memorandum submitted and public
presentation by the stakeholders of the party across
the three senatorial districts of the state to the
National Working Committee of the party for a way
forward for Delta APC."
