Crack in PDP faction loyal to Amaechi

There appears to be a crack in the sacked River State Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party loyal to Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
Two members have asked the Court of Appeal, Abuja, to strike out the appeal filed by the ousted Chairman, Chief Godspower Ake, on their behalf.
In their respective applications for joinder, the ex officio, Evelyn Nkechi Weke and the Assistant Legal Officer, Emmanuel Utchay, told the court that their consent was not sought before the appeal was filed by Ake on behalf of himself and others.
They claimed that Ake misrepresented their interest in filing the appeal without authorisation.
Weke contended in his application that there was no common interest in the subject matter of litigation to warrant initiating the appeal in a representative capacity.
She averred that other members of the ousted SEC in Rivers state had no intention or basis to pursue the appeal.
Alternatively, Weke asked the court to hold that the appeal was filed on behalf of persons whose identities were not known or disclosed or on behalf of members of non-juristic entity referred to as ‘State Executive Committee of PDP in Rivers State’.
Attempts by counsel for the appellants, Joseph Daudu (SAN), to persuade the court to ignore the applications and to proceed to hear the application for leave to appeal the Abuja High Court’s decision that sacked his client from office, failed
