The All Progressives Congress, APC has launched a 7-man Caretaker Committee  to take charge of the party’s affairs in Rivers State.

Addressing the newly sworn-in members, Dr. Ganduje emphasised the need to establish a robust foundation for the party in Rivers State.

He outlined key expectations, including the implementation of electronic member registration and the formation of various committees to enhance party involvement.

Dr. Ganduje urged unity among committee members, saying, “You don’t belong to any group but the group of APC in Rivers State.” 

He called on them to create an inclusive environment for the conduct of congresses at different levels and ultimately build a strong foundation for the party leading up to the next gubernatorial election.
