THE ALL PROGRESSIVE CONGRESS in Elele, Ikwerre Local Government of Rivers State, have threatened to recall the member representing Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mr. Chidi Wihioka.
The APC in the area accused Wihioka of anti-party activities and insisted that it would not hesitate to initiate his recall should he continue to misrepresent it and the people of Elele in matters concerning the governorship candidacy of the party.
This is as Wihioka dismissed the caucus in Elele threatening him with recall and expulsion as an illegal body, adding that the constitution of the party allowed him to support any governorship ticket of his choice.
A statement on Wednesday signed by 24 leaders of the party in the area, including the former minority leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr. Elechi Dike, Mr. Lawrence Womenazu and 23 others, said Wihioka had already been removed as the local government caucus leader.
The party advised Wihioka to desist from parading himself as the leader of the LG caucus.
The statement read in part, “The member representing Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Chidi Wihioka, may soon be expelled by the All Progressives Congress in his ward and home town, Elele in Ikwerre LGA of Rivers State.
“Rising from a recent special leadership caucus meeting of the party in Elele, the party also vowed to initiate the recall of the House of Representatives member if he continues to misrepresent the party and people of Elele in matters concerning the governorship and other primaries of the party yet to be tabled for discussion by party faithful.
“Wihioka is neither attending party meetings nor contributing to its growth. We advise Mr. Wihioka to seek reconciliation with the party structure at all levels as social media campaigns by proxies will not save him from being recalled or expelled from the party should his anti-party activities persist.”
