RENEWED CALLS FOR INTERNAL DEMOCRACY IN RIVERS APC, A VIABLE OPPORTUNITY TO MIDWIFE RECONCILIATION ~~Rivers State APC Visionary Media Team (RAVIMT).

The Rivers State APC Visionary Media Team (RAVIMT) hails and celebrates the increasing calls for Internal Democracy by members of the party in the State, especially those who prior to the 2019 primaries and general elections held contrary positions.

We also use this medium to appeal to the leadership of the party at all levels to see this renewed progressive position by members of both factions of the party in Rivers State as a reflection of the general mood of majority of the party's membership and immediately leverage on this to commence the process of healing and reconciliation across the party in the state.

We are particularly calling on the Adams Oshiomole-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress to explore ways of resolving the Rivers APC imbroiglio with the same level of wisdom and maturity displayed in remedying the hitherto boiling situation in his home State, Edo, to the admiration of many Nigerians.

We had earlier held, that the principles of Internal Democracy do not only revolve around the right to choose and aspire for elective positions, but also, ensure the protection of the rights of every party member to be consented in critical decision making process of the party. That is why Progressive politics is the product of collective interest and not the interest of one man or a few, as clearly stated in the lofty ideals of "PROGRESSIVE CHANGE" in our great party, the APC.

For the party to make any meaningful progress therefore, all issues surrounding the grievances of Ibrahim Umar and 22 others must be thoroughly addressed while a machinery is put in place to avoid actions and inactions by all categories and levels of the party's leadership that may result in the repetition of such humongous loss as the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State suffered in 2019.

The Universe, according to Francis Bacon, 'must not be narrowed down to the limit of our understanding, but our understanding must be stretched and enlarged to take in the image of the universe'.

Let us make haste while it is yet day... And may God help us.

Robertson Jack,

I pray Amaechi will allow peace in the party..from rejecting Magnus for Dakuku, that was the genesis of disunity since 2015 , that also ruled them out of 2019 election.
But, the fact still remains, Rivers state is purely for PDP
