DELTA APC TEARS IN SHREDS OVER LEADERSHIP

Ughelli –  A group, All Progressives Congress Truth Advocators (APCTA), on Tuesday stated that Chief Sunny Onuesoke’s advice to Olorogun O’tega Emerhor to obey the court order that ousted Prophet Jones Erhue-led executive of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Delta State was justified, saying that it is the only thing that can bring peace to the party in the state.

The group in a statement said the refusal of the O’tega Emerhor faction of the APC in Delta State to respect the court order was the cause of the violent clash of supporters of the two factions in the state.

It would be recalled that the APC in the state had been engulfed in leadership crisis with a faction loyal to Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor and the other loyal to a Second Republic Senator, Francis Spanner Okpozo. Chief Sunny Onuesoke, a chieftain of the PDP, in reaction stated that he sees nothing wrong with what Second Republic Senator Francis Spanner Okpozo did by inaugurating a caretaker committee under the aegis of Elders and Leaders of APC to oversee the affairs of the party in the state.

Onuesoke in the reaction advised O’tega Emerhor to respect the state High Court order that sacked the Prophet Jones Erue-led executive that was elected at a congress held in the premises of a church in 2014, following a suit filed by Chief Adolor Okotie-Eboh.

The group appealed to Emerhor-led faction of the APC to listen to the voice of reason and respect the court order that sacked the Prophet Jones Erhue led executive to enable the APC prepare very well ahead of the 2019 elections.
