The internal crisis within the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)<\/strong> has escalated sharply following the registration of Governor Siminalayi Fubara into the party by a disputed factional leadership.<\/p>\n

APC Spokesperson, Darlington Nwauju, issued a scathing statement on December 12, 2025, condemning the registration as a direct \u201cassault on the rule of law\u201d<\/em> and a \u201cbrazen ridicule of the judiciary<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abia Radio News<\/strong> reports that\u00a0Nwauju\u2019s criticism centres on the fact that the faction that registered Governor Fubara \u2013 led by Rivers State APC Chairman Tony Okocha \u2013 was purportedly produced by congresses that have been nullified by two separate court rulings.<\/p>\n

He referenced two judgments: the August 12, 2024, ruling by Justice Sika Aprioku and the December 20, 2024, ruling by Justice Godswill Obomanu.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes running to Government House to register Governor Sim Fubara in order to validate his group set aside the judgments that nullified the congress that produced them? The answer is a resounding NO<\/em>,\u201d Nwauju asserted.<\/p>\n

He argued that every attempt to revive the faction only exposes a \u201cdangerous disregard for legal order<\/em>\u201d and reinforces the party\u2019s internal crisis.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson branded the move as both illegal and provocative, warning that the Governor\u2019s registration could trigger fresh rounds of costly litigation that the Rivers APC can ill afford.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must stop creating room for further litigation within the APC in Rivers State because the so-called registration done by an illegal entity can be challenged in court<\/em>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Governor Fubara formally received his APC membership card at the Government House, Port Harcourt, on Friday, with Tony Okocha<\/strong>, who claimed to represent the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda<\/strong>, presenting the card. Fubara stated his decision was aimed at promoting unity and development in the state.<\/p>\n
