Ogbobula who announced the NWC suspension of the exercise is apparent response to the pending suit by the Abe camp, also highlighted that “NWC is responsible for necessary reconciliation process” at bringing both factions together.
The Acting Rivers APC Chairman, in the statement signed by his Media Aide, Esara Oniso, assured party faithful that all “other party activities are going on unhindered in the state.”
The litigating Abe camp insist on fair and just reconciliation of all factional differences before congresses are considered.
