He stated that he would pursue the matter in the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

The appeal court in Abuja on Tuesday sacked Aguma as the caretaker chairman of the APC in the state and declared Isaac Abbot-Ogbobula of the Rotimi Amaechi faction in the state, as the state chairman of the party.<\/p>\n

But reacting to the ruling, Aguma in a statement urged party members to remain calm<\/p>\n

Reacting to the development in a statement by a former House of Assembly members, Golden Chioma, he said \u201cWe have been briefed on the Court of Appeal judgement today in Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll party faithful in Rivers State should remain calm and resolute as we have already instructed our lawyers to appeal the judgements at the Supreme Court while we continue with our preparations for the 2021 local government election in Rivers state.<\/p>\n

\u201cAPC must be on the ballot and there is no going back.\u201d<\/p>\n
