A major political storm is brewing within the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the removal of Chinda and other candidates reportedly aligned with Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.
The decision, taken by the reinstated faction of the party, has sent shockwaves through the state’s political landscape, signaling a fresh battle for control of the APC structure in Rivers.
Party sources say the leadership shake-up is part of efforts to reposition the party and strengthen its internal structures ahead of future political engagements. The move is also seen as a bold statement by the reinstated faction that it is ready to assert its authority within the party.
Political analysts describe the development as a turning point that could reshape alliances and power blocs within the Rivers APC. Many believe the latest action has intensified rivalry among key stakeholders jostling for dominance in the state’s political arena.
Supporters of the reinstated faction have welcomed the decision, insisting it reflects the will of party members and a commitment to internal democracy. However, loyalists of the affected candidates are expected to challenge the move, setting the stage for another chapter in the ongoing political contest.
As tensions rise and consultations continue behind closed doors, all eyes remain on Rivers APC, where the struggle for supremacy appears far from over.
