Event Summary

The Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria — Cross River State is embroiled in a leadership crisis following a vote of no confidence passed by the State Executive Committee (SEC) against its chairman, Alphonsus Ogar Eba. The SEC members accused Alphonsus Ogar Eba of high-handedness and diversion of party funds, leading to his purported removal. However, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Nigeria — All Progressives Congress, through its National Legal Adviser Murtala Aliyu Kankia, has declared the removal unconstitutional and summoned Alphonsus Ogar Eba to Abuja to address the allegations. Alphonsus Ogar Eba has dismissed his removal as politically motivated and illegal, counter-accusing some officials of financial misconduct. The NWC's intervention aims to resolve the escalating factional disputes ahead of the 2027 general elections, reflecting Alphonsus Ogar Eba's growing influence within the national structure of the Nigeria — All Progressives Congress.
