The newly elected chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state, Tony Okocha has said that the party will take over the state in 2027.
In his acceptance speech which he gave shortly after his election, Okocha said the congress is a proof the APC is united.
Shutting down claims by critics that the party cannot conduct a peaceful election, Okocha said the party is headed to more wins.
He said, ”Those who said APC cannot conduct elections lied. APC will conduct and win elections and be in charge of government in Rivers State.
“Our business, with you supporting us, is to ensure that we route out a rudderless government in Rivers State.
“By the year 2027, God keeping us alive, we will have election in Rivers State and our target with you is to help us so that APC takes the reign of governance in Rivers State,” Okocha noted.
