A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has condemned the dissolution of the executives of the party in Rivers State.

He also alleged that the APC leadership is plotting to hand over the party in Rivers to Wike just to spite Amaechi.

The National Working Committee of the APC had on Friday inaugurated members of the caretaker committee of the Rivers State chapter of the party two days after the excos were dissolved

Eze, in a statement on Saturday, alleged that the dissolution was part of a plot to embarrass former Rivers governor, Chibuike Amaechi.

He noted that President Bola Tinubu and the party’s National Chairman, Umar Ganduje, plotted the scheme to hand over the state chapter of the party to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and write off Amaechi and his team.

He reminded those he called the cabal to be wary of Wike, who he described as a political chameleon.

“I am happy to note that both Tinubu and Ganduje have suffered and tasted the bitter pills of Wike in most of his attempts to decimate the party and to handover the party structure to him and his agents is nothing but sheer wickedness and unreasonableness because it will definitely backfire.

“It is however unfortunate that all the appointments so far made by Tinubu and his government have only favoured Wike, who fought Rivers APC to a standstill with the resource of the state,” he said.

Nigeria grants visa-free entry to Rwandan citizens for 30 days

Nigeria has begun implementing a 30-day visa-free entry policy for citizens of Rwanda, in a move aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties and easing travel between both African nations.   According to Channels Television, the policy took effect following an announcement by Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali. The visa exemption grants Rwandan nationals access to Nigeria for up to 30 days for lawful activities including tourism, business and official engagements.   The Nigeria Immigration Service confirmed the new arrangement in a statement issued on Friday by its spokesperson, Akinlabi Akinsola. The agency described the measure as a landmark step in deepening bilateral relations and promoting intra-African mobility.   Immigration authorities said the visa waiver mirrors an earlier concession by Rwanda to Nigerian travellers, making the arrangement reciprocal between both countries.   Officials stressed that any Rwandan visitor seeking to remain in Nigeria beyond the 30-day period must obtain the appropriate visa through Nigerian diplomatic missions or the country’s e-visa platform.   The immigration service added that all international entry points, including airports, seaports and land borders, have been directed to enforce the policy immediately in line with the presidential directive.   The agency said the decision supports broader continental integration goals and is expected to encourage tourism, trade and stronger economic cooperation between the two countries.
