Rivers APC Ends Fasting, Ready For Ward Congress

The All Progressives Con
gress (APC), Rivers State Chapter, has concluded its seven days fasting which began last Thursday.
During the fasting period, the  party used  the opportunity to pray for peace, good governance and the wellbeing of Rivers State and her people.
The party at a ceremony held at its State Secretariat in Port Harcourt last Wednesday, to mark the end of the fasting, also prayed for wisdom, protection and good health for Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and his family, as well as the APC leadership in the state.
The Interim Chairman of APC in Rivers State, Dr Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, urged party members to embrace God, saying that without Him, all the party’s efforts to provide good governance for the State and the entire nation would be in vain.
According to him, “with the fasting we have shown to the entire world that all our activities are centred on God. In other words, those fighting against Governor Amaechi and the APC leadership in Rivers State are indirectly fighting God and they will never succeed as our own God is a great Warrior and consuming fire ever ready to protect his children and shame our enemies.”
Ikanya emphasised the readiness of his administration to organise a successful ward congress of the party which comes up tomorrow (Saturday).
He urged all party faithful to shift all forces to their localities and ensure that credible persons are elected at the ward level, which according to him, is the engine room of the party’s campaign for the 2015 general elections.
“If we fail to get it right at the ward level, then we are doomed as a party as the State may fall into the hands of the evil minded people in PDP,” he said.
He disclosed that all the relevant materials and manpower have been mobilised to all the wards of the party in the State for a successful congress, adding that in each ward, 22 officials and four ex-officio members would be elected.
“We will also elect delegates for the local government and State congresses. The spirit is very high and members are willing to ensure a successful ward congress.
“Members should conduct themselves in an orderly manner to ensure successful ward congress,” he said.
