He made the comments in a statement while reacting to the mass resignations that has rocked the party in recent time.

Cole noted that despite the resignations, all is well with the party, adding that what is happening is necessary for the party to awaken and fight for power.

Recall that APC crises in Rivers State takes another dimension as resignations in the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress continues, this time, a former Commissioner for Transport, George Tolofari, has dumped the party.

Tolofari, who was a governorship aspirant of the party for the 2023 elections, served as commissioner under the administration of Rotimi Amaechi as Governor of the state.

His resignation was contained in a letter he addressed to the APC chairman in Ward 12, Bonny Local Government Area.

Tolofari said the APC came to power on the mantra of anti-corruption, justice and equity but expressed dismay that everything it preached against held sway and even threaten the existence of the country.

Also another chieftain of the All Progressive Congress in Rivers State Theodore Goergewill had resigned his membership from the party.

Goergewill, who is the Campaign Director General to the governorship flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Tonye Cole said the decision to resign his membership of the party was personal.

Goergewill disclosed this in a letter to the chairman of the All Progressive Congress Ward 7, in Akuku-Toru Local Government area in Rivers State.

Goergewill who did not disclosed his next destination, thanked the party for their support thus far.

The statement read partly, “The above subject matter refers. Joining the APC was based on personal conviction, but having reviewed the general state of affairs of the APC-led government in the country, I’m no longer convinced of my continued stay in the party.

“The APC came on the mantra of anti-corruption, justice, equity and insecurity. But today that hope is dashed as insecurity, corruption and injustice stare us squarely in the face and threaten the very existence of our beloved country.
