The party’s State Executive Committee, led by Chike Eyinda, announced their suspension at a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

The All Progressives Congress APC in Rivers State has suspended the party’s chairman, Chief Emeka Beke, and Legal Adviser, Iheanyichukwu Azubuike, over alleged anti-party activities and financial misconduct.

The party’s State Executive Committee, led by Chike Eyinda, announced their suspension at a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

The committee blamed them for the party’s poor performance in the 2023 elections in the state.

Eyinda also knocked former transportation minister, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for saying the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, who was declared the ‘President-elect’, Bola Tinubu, influenced the choice of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu as the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.


Eyinda said, “We, the members of the State Executive Committee, therefore, resolve as follows: that Chief Emeka Beke, the Chairman of the APC in Rivers State, is hereby suspended indefinitely for anti-party activities, gross misconduct and financial mismanagement pending the outcome of an independent committee of inquiry as may be set up by the party.

“That until the outcome of the committee of inquiry, Mr. Omiete Eferebo, the Deputy Chairman assumes the office of the acting chairman with immediate effect.

“That Mr. Iheanyichukwu Azubuike, the Legal Adviser of the party also stands suspended for anti-party activities and financial mismanagement pending the outcome of the committee of inquiry.


“These leaders have been responsible for the mass exodus of members of the party as well as the failures experienced by the party in the just concluded general elections in the state.

“To demonstrate this, Rt. Hon. Amaechi, who contested and lost the presidential primary to the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, in active connivance with the state chairman and the legal adviser, a week to the presidential election, called the leadership of the party to a meeting and directed all the APC members in the state to work for the PDP in the general election.”

Eyinda said the directive given by Amaechi badly affected the fortunes of the APC in the 2023 elections.

He described Amaechi’s statement allegation as an “affront to our President-elect and the highest level of anti-party activity”.

“Also, since the present chairman (Chief Emeka Beke) took over the mantle of leadership of APC in Rivers State, all funds released for the 2023 elections were disbursed by the chairman and his cronies without the consent and approval of any member of the executive working committee as prescribed by the party’s constitution.

“We urgently call on the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu to set up an independent panel of inquiry to look into the activities of the above-mentioned leaders with a view to finding a lasting solution to the problems of the party in the state,” Eyinda said.

Ameachi afia the fight and betrayal of the south south for Buhari na minister of transport he feel give you? A 2 time Governor? Even Akpabio got a bigger ministry than you. I know you are now feeling like a used and dump Lady. You can't go to the Senate, you can't contest any political position again you have been retired from politics at just 57 . lol

Amaechi didn't get his style of politics right.
He played wrongly and lost out woefully.
Woke. Unanimously becomes the political godfather of Rivers State politics

Ever since he was rubbished at the primaries... He has been a very sore and bitter person.

He now realised the pain of ordinary Nigerians. But it's too late....


He should face whatever troubles that's coming his way.

Apparently, his political career is gone and over!

I don't always believe in the saying that karma is a bitch until now that bad things are befalling Ameachi... His betrayal of SS slot was so loud. I pray he suffers political betrayal more than what he cooked for Jona

Mak he find another Party jus go du refugee derr as he be like this is useless to APC and PDP...
