Crisis in the Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has continued five days to governorship and state House of Assembly elections, as party members accuse one another of anti-party activities.

A party chieftain and former Chief of Staff to Ex-Governor Chibuike Amaechi, Mr. Tony Okocha, told Port Harcourt residents, yesterday, he did not know the party’s governorship candidate for Saturday’s election.

While speaking in a Port Harcourt-based radio programme Okocha said Tonye Cole has not proved to members of the party that he is their guber candidate because, according to him, he (Cole) was allegedly engaged in anti-party activities, by voting for the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Okocha claimed such actions were responsible for APC’s stagnation and failure in the state. Okocha said: “The facts are clear that he (Cole) voted against his party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu. If you and other members refused to vote the presidential candidate and someone else in another party did, it is necessary we reciprocate the gesture.”

But in his reaction, the APC spokesman, Darlington Nwauju, wondered how Okocha, whom he claimed is not a non-party member, would know its governorship candidate. A short message sent to The Guardian by Nwauju queried: “How can a non-APC member know who our candidate is?”
