An aspirant for the chairmanship position of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Hon. Golden Ben Chioma, has said that this Saturday’s state Congress may not hold.
The former Assembly lawmaker, in a statement today, said they had petitioned the National Leadership of the party about the ward congresses which he alleged were not valid.
He also denied media reports that he is no longer in the race, adding that he is waiting for a reply from the National Secretariat on the way forward.
Hon. Chioma also noted that he is yet to know the identity of the delegates and that it would be strange to participate in the Congress.
“I am not withdrawing. The race is still on, but may not hold tomorrow because we have already notified the national leadership that the congress that was held at the ward level were not valid. I am waiting for a reply to my petition from the national secretariat which I sent since,” he said.
“The party leadership said we should wait, so we are waiting. And when the party moved the state congress from September to tomorrow, it was all in furtherance to resolve the disputes emanating from the ward and local government congresses,” he added.
