 Meanwhile, the all-progressive Congress, APC chapter in river states has their refuted and disputed claims that its state chairman, Emeka Beke, was suspended by a faction of the party in the state. This came just hours after Beke, Ieyu Chukwu Asbriki, the state legal adviser, and Darlene Zinwauju, the state's publicity secretary, were all suspended by the party's state executive council on Wednesday. The party's state executive committee, led by Chike Iyenda, announced their suspension of media briefing in Botharket, blaming them for the party's poor performance in the 2023 election to the state. These leaders, which include the party's state chairman, Chief Emeka Beke, and the legal adviser, Mr. Iyenda Chukwu, Ieyu Chukwu, as he became, under the overall bidders of right Hennan Borotimi, Chief Emeka Beke, have since 2021 held this party on her knees in river states, and have been responsible for the max exodus of the members of the party into another party, as well as the failure experience by the party in the just concluded general election in river states. We, the members of the state executive committee, therefore, resort as follows. One, that Chief Emeka Beke, the chairman of our Progressive Congress in river states, is hereby suspended indefinitely, for anti-party activities, cross misconduct and financial mismanagement. Our member Beke and 16 other members of the executive committee refuted the claims and the press briefing of the party's state secretariat in Botharket. If you understand what is happening to the party, distraction, that's what they want to do, nothing more. If you watch in the last couple of the PDP, they are in front of INIC, they said it would be there till Friday. That's the last day we're going to file our case in the tribunal. But it's going to be shocking to them that we're going to file our case in the tribunal. The allegation against our leader, the former transportation minister and former governor of river states, the Rady Honore Buchibike Routimi and Mechi, is preposterous to say the least because prior to the general elections, there was no event, there was no meeting, there was nothing of sorts where our leader directed any member of the leader, the state working committee or the state executive committee of the APC to vote against our party, the APC. The state working committee of the party does not even have powers to suspend any member of the party. The state working committee on the 21 of the 2022 constitution of the party as amended only enshrines, only gives room for the state working committee to recommend.
