Beke’s comment is detrimental to the president of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, who is the current leader of the ruling party in the south-south. The embattled APC chairman insisted that no one can write the APC’s history without Amaechi.
The Rivers State High Court nullified the APC’s dissolution of Beke’s executive by the National Working Committee (NWC), stating that the Abdullahi Ganduje leadership of the party erred in dissolving the elected executive.
Speaking on the ruling’s outcome on Monday, August 12, Beke ruled out the option of contacting Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, adding that they are not members of the APC.
However, Beke insisted that Amaechi has never left the APC and that the former minister remains the party’s leader in the South-South region.
Recall that Amaechi and Akpabio contested for the APC presidential ticket against President Bola Tinubu, ahead of the 2023 election. While Akpabio stepped down for President Tinubu, Amaechi emerged second in the party’s primary.
