Etche Has Not Benefitted From APC -Nwuke
The former Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress in the State, Ogbonna Nwuke, has announced his departure from the party.
Nwuke, who made this known during a press briefing in Port Harcourt, said he dumped the APC because his Etche Local Government Area had not benefitted from the change agenda of the APC, whether in the state or at the federal level.
Nwuke, who resigned his position as the spokesman of the River State chapter of the APC last week, said he left the party because of inequality in the sharing of appointments.
Nwuke, who served as Commissioner for Information and Communications during the first tenure of Rotimi Amaechi as Governor of the State, decried the injustice meted out to his Etche ethnic nationality.
He said, “For more than six years, we have not seen the change that they promised us. They have not considered us worthy of any appointment except an assistant to the NDDC Managing Director.
“In the 23 Local Government Areas of Rivers State, Etche is empty when it comes to sharing of appointments. I cannot stand the frustration staring my people in the face.
“We have waited for the past six years and we have not been found worthy for any appointment. It is time to step aside from the APC”, he said.
Nwuke, who was a member of the House of Representatives for the people of Omuma /Etche Constituency, said he had not officially joined any party but hinted that the country only had two political parties, even as his political destination would be revealed.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
