The Action Peoples Party (APP) in Rivers has opted to boycott the August 30 local government elections in the state.
The APP chairman in the state, Mr. Sunny Wokekoro, gave the notice in a chat with journalists on Thursday in Port Harcourt.
He said the decision to boycott the election followed the directive from the party’s National Secretariat and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC).
Wokekoro added that the party’s apex body and IPAC had advised political parties to steer clear of the election.

“Despite our decision to opt out of the elections, we (APP) remain a formidable political force here in Rivers.
“We all know how we recorded a landslide victory in the annulled October 5, 2024, local government election.
“Our present position does not signify the end of the APP in the state,” the chairman stated.
Wokekoro also dismissed rumours that he was no longer the APP leader in Rivers State.
