The All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker Committee, Rivers State Chapter, has disclosed how it ensured the ruling party’s win in the 2023 presidential election.
Tony Okocha, the head of the caretaker committee, revealed that President Bola Tinubu’s capacity to manoeuvre and adapt his forces was necessary for him to win the election.
Okocha revealed the information on Friday during his committee’s inauguration at the party’s Abuja headquarters.

He also addressed rumours that Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), may defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling party, saying emphatically that he and Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara, among others, have the door wide open.
According to Okocha: “It is a bit painful that as members of the political party in a particular state as important as Rivers, we have not learnt our lessons. We are unable to beat our chest that we have been able to produce not even a councillor in the 119 wards in Rivers State.
“The last election will beat your imagination that a party that ordinarily ought to be robust, lost in the 32 House of Assembly seats in Rivers State. We got just a seat in the House of Representatives out of 13. We lost the three senatorial districts. In the governorship election, we lost woefully.

“We only thank God that with the manoeuvrability and pliability of us and some other forces, we can win the presidential election in Rivers state. I was going to remind the chairman when he said that Rivers state APC was the only state that won election in the South South. I need to remind him that it was both in the South-South and South East.
“Out of 11 states, it was only Rivers that our presidential candidate won the election. We are going to perpetuate that.”
