Yo, you're probably wondering why we're on a three episode like we went a gap and just kind of skipped over foxy And I made a small post about it, but I just wanted to say I watched through foxy I didn't enjoy a ton of it And I know a lot of people are excited for me to get into the next sort of arc So I went ahead just skipped over the like section in the middle So that being said enjoy this fat three episode banger and I just I gotta say afro-loofy goaded I Whatever will the last get a little chopper and he's back with a box Gosh Now he has chopper and Nico Robin Robin doesn't even seem like kind of worried at least we're together Three more rounds Luffy stop stop just give up one of them What you're not gonna even accept another challenge Fanning Robin You're gonna cry about it So it wouldn't even yeah, they wouldn't accept anymore That's kind of shameless of them. I'm not gonna lie Peanut crap they keep using like the term peanut a lot Realistically chopper Robin, I don't think they could chopper Robin are the two most useful people in the crew Hey, Nami's thinking Nami's having a brain blast She's just gonna like I said like try to double down be like yo back five people just bet the whole crew bro That's a good idea why five though, why don't just bet two and of course, I'll say yes because he has so much false confidence in himself Got the cotton candy and candy Apple Bro, they would boy just break off from the crew if they were even taken by him It's a good deal to have They're all fine with the bet too if it means getting Robin and chopper back What why would he say that Canonically, there's no way that he wins. So do they actually end up with the entire no shot. There's no way I mean, maybe that maybe fucks he does win and they'd have to like there's some like episodes. I'm trying to escape him I don't know but there's no way Other teams descendants Bro, they are betting their bloodline That's why he said that oh my gosh No shot, man Is that like a Nami Sanji child? That's so cute It depends on what this even is Final combat round his foxy himself actually going to partake finally. He's very confident himself If it's a fight then Luffy will win. They got cheerleaders So it's Luffy versus foxy The boat is called the sexy foxy Ship is the battlefield Coincidence if I've ever seen one I mean foxy is just gonna be all like smoke and mirrors like tricks and stuff like that Thanks, you're flexible damn They're selling merch to their own crew They they businessmen for real for real and they're buying the limited edition pens I would hope it's on the house for a fellow foxy pirate the fact that a chopper and Robin are technically part of the foxy's crew Is so funny for no reason Well, I'll still be together She seems to chill about it She's like that's just the way things are Oh My gosh, that's like nightmare fuel for chopper Surely Luffy wins surely they don't actually lose and have like bust out of the foxy crew, right? I mean, maybe I don't know there's three episodes of this. Oh My gosh Wigs boxing gloves weapons pop hats a gloved fight. Okay, put some brass nuggles onto the gloves I've seen this one before My gosh, that wig is huge. He has the limited edition pen Usopp's so enthralled by the Afro. This is it What is he doing? He really didn't want to pay What he wants this next to Nami? Wait, what is foxy's bounty 24 is that 24 million? Dang I like how they put the bounty sheets out on the water. It's good design 920 and oh, okay, he really knows what he's doing. There's no way he's bought liner 20 weak people Bachelors why he's captain Thank you stop story about it Not even modern science What's in the sky where that's so cool What is this man, this is some reference. I'm I'm not getting My goodness. What is that temporary tattoo he has on? Surely he wins though, right? Feed him so well. It's weird No shot I like how inherently it's saying like whatever TV commercial was on for that was the sponsor of the Davy back fight I mean sure nobody actually thinks he's as cool as he seems which is the clouds were just for like cinematic flair Oh, they're very serious, they're as serious as serious gets What what oh they can see the fight on the boat dude, why does Luffy look so cool especially with the tattoo? I mean, it's a nice ship I have to be honest It's it's looks pretty well maintained too, but it's probably from all the stuff He's stolen and the people he's stolen seems to keep looking nice All right, so how the hell does Foxy actually beat him if this is straight up just a boxing match Like I mean, yeah, he's got the slow beam I guess you can slow him and then start hitting him, but like movies rubber, bro I mean Foxy's best best try to throw Luffy in the water to explain the temporary tattoo either Luffy please man Ruby is it like 30 seconds to When he talks slow to nine tails rush I feel like that won't even hurt him though Oh, it's like whatever it did be like he comes out of like the slow phase it'll actually hurt like all at once Oh, yeah So he knows he needs something more than punch him rubber What is it all like catches up? Oh Dang come on man Raise the water just dodge the beam and you win easier said and done, but still I'm sure are nice. How do you say that? Just hiding I Mean it's better for Luffy's you know if he's away from water, honestly Wait, are there any rules about him destroying the ship and then they all read dang dude You can get pretty creative with the beam. I won't even lie I hit the afro. It's okay He's on a cannon. I feel like what's gonna go wrong here. They're all time I Really what's gonna go wrong here and how Luffy wins is literally to be foxy getting like an ego and mistiming something because he's acting Super ego right now overconfident in himself. You already mistimed one thing in an earlier episode I don't remember exactly what it was. It's happened before whenever he first showed him in the cannonball. He just let it hit him It's a possibility But she asked if she could see anything she's nosebleed seeds He didn't care about the ship. There's so many men to fix it afterwards. They didn't matter What are those man Luffy What are those one of those gloves, how did he upgrade them? The body the body he's just yelling out lines. Why are those bombs so annoying for a blue fee All right, so begins round three I guess I don't know what to make of all this I don't think I've been able to make anything from this arc I've been in sort of like a fever dream-esque state, but but nonetheless we march on you gotta give us some respect for this This commentator. He definitely does not get paid enough Rose devoted to the job Early pointed at the ship the cannons Is he with them oh, he's in the mass on the mast Damn, there's a lot of a movie to tell you you're annoying man Yeah, dude, he didn't get the bounty for nothing Shoppers is like custom fit for his hat the ears and all they're very nice for that He's in the smoke Picture Voxie just running around beaming like everything everything you find like that moon night meme go Why is there so many like clouds down there? Okay, it's definitely a fake 1 million percent of fake Why built it out like pillows or something? He let himself get hit by the bombs And off he goes he's trying to drag you in man. I'm the fake Okay, it's it's literally just a target. I mean just destroy all the literally just wouldn't target just punch them all The old man Voxie, you're so disappointing not that there was a borrow ready for you, but still Think prepped a piano or something the fall What is in here? Why do I feel like there's gonna be like a lion or a tiger or something? I Just realized what Usa's classes reminded me of and it's Saturi and it makes me sad Then it reminded me of Saturi were Saturi's blue. No, they were red. What was his hair red? No, his glasses were yellow, but they kind of look like the same glasses Yeah, we're like 40 episodes away from that. I'm still thinking about Saturi Either Luffy's entire bloodline to his crew's bloodline or owed the Voxie or they just get Voxie's crew either way It's hilarious That's a lot of cannons and cannonballs This is like a freaking ghost story ma'am scared horror movie Yeah, this is exactly what he wants Luffy just slowly open the door.  Oh, wait, is he comparing them side by side? It's a normal now. This is a normally found ourselves it Luffy of two intellectual Titans Wow, this is there's another another trapdoor Are we sending a men's room It ain't a living creature Okay, is it an abyss This um, this arc has me questioning a lot of my own existence I think pairing with the fact that I'm sick right now just wasn't it wasn't the best idea my dreams are gonna be psychotic tonight Your life's final stop. Oh my house romantic. All right. What's in there on Pokemon? Luffy just grab onto the sides Pull yourself up right now. Luffy stretch up. It can't be a living thing Wait, nobody can even see this fight going on. Do they have cameras and another fit? What is this I'm losing my mind losing my mind this rivals that of Luffy versus crocodile. Let's be honest It just slowly it just slowly moves to him. Oh I'm sorry it lights him on fire, too What next do they do my taxes too? I actually have to dodge like a million beams.  Oh wait, that's wait. Yeah Yeah, I gotta be honest.  Damn That's kind of like one shot, right? That's the first hit. He's gotten in and foxy is not a strong dude. Oh No, it's not Now they're all on fire. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we actually he lighten him up. No Foxy they looking for a new warlord. I would I would apply. I'm gonna be honest man I think you got a real shot. I think blackbeards your only main competition right now, but They have no idea. They're waiting for whoever's walk out walk out.  He's not he's loopy and he has a fro I Love that being luffy is more than enough powers up your spirits And has a fro Mommy's like am I missing something why is everybody bringing up the out row?  It looks like foxy standing. It actually is foxy standing.  Luffy you beat crocodile bro come on you beat Foxy stronger than in a rua god confirmed foxy a god confirmed you heard it here first The afro it's giving him more more a will to go on He lose gas bro Where has that been That's what's been in his his like little trouser thing of restraining sword I mean, maybe I should put more respect on foxy's name, but I don't know He's been his own crews been so like slimy throughout every event and everything He's fine It was a mistake to leave that in the dressing room Well, that's a new one. We haven't seen Ellen yet. We'll be still not dodging it Maybe it would be like sorts using it to his advantage. I don't know I want to lie the fights delivered It's reached the level of goofiness that's apt for who foxy is And Afro Luffy does does add on a good amount of charm throw foxy's petrified He's got to get up. He's Luffy. Oh He's a baby. He'll die before he gives up Robin and shopper Or sells the entire crew the foxy inherently Let's cap these bad boys off to 19 the end of the foxy arc.  Holy guacamole. Is that a bug for his friends? All right, I'm gonna say yeah, but the foxy can't really like that really feel good about that party You literally just told them to cheer for you Not the fro Robin's like, okay chopper go somewhere else. I don't know the delia Wait, that's actually so cool though. I won't even lie. He's moving so slowly so menacing These 30 seconds pass by very quickly It's gonna have lightning fast reaction It's starting to become a cool concept And how he has solid thinking The guy first like oh it slows things down, but there's a lot more depth to it than I thought at first He's still standing which is knocked over.  We had a mirror and he reversed it Let me slow the beam went back towards him 30 seconds I'm guessing he took a shard from the glass. Yeah. Oh my gosh. You just one shot him He can he can wind up Who's gonna get into the sun like wobble? Wait, oh I'm so ready Wait for it. Wait for it. You go walk away Bro is literally about to perish Target an intricate there. Oh There he goes It's loopy posing. He's actually going to the Sun Robin's already leaving her and chopper. Yeah, parking is gonna be a nightmare to get out of here. We don't leave now Wait, he has to double for two he will drown. I just realized nine under twenty and one The health of your whole crew bro He wanted he did want to pose Okay, that fight actually was pretty cool. Oh There's a good fight. I Mean In general though Hey, why you going to boss your boss anymore Recoil game not according to those four those four episodes for other episodes We're bozo smoking on that foxy pack. Oh, they already fixed it. Oh my gosh, they're they're fast Man, he doesn't have the afro anymore Those really are powerful Remember why Chopper Robin still wearing the foxy things that's relief. We don't know how to work on our foxy now Usa be you changed man.  You cannot be serious man. I was like man. He kind of gets some points for that But he's gonna be like, yeah, I don't need anyone else man I don't want any of your crew Unless he's like, hey, man, you got any good musicians on board and what else they need a ship repair, man He's a listen you guys fix that ship really fast. You give me your best. Oh, he wants the flag Damn, I think they're pride too. I mean, he needed to go places. That's so wholesome I'll draw a new one no shot You're Letting him off easy What is that? Oh my god Bro, we don't care we leave him You have to he's gonna pick for the night seven be like, yo, we don't got room by Dude, a canonically is he just gonna own foxy's crew Even have worn a 97 men everyone from you They're just going to follow them Tell me I never have to see that man again that man in And all was the same. What are you doing Shelly? We sound like that Are they gonna try to take him back to His like all his people I would hope not He's giving them the Foxy Pirates thing, yeah I'll be okay Oh, it's happening wait, oh it doesn't split it just the water rises Say the long mole a mule the champion You guys know each other Wait, is he making a path underground between each each like thing? They do know each other So when he was a kid The still standing record that's why he was up here he for the city for gods All grown up now it was his grandpa Wait, that's perfect. You really take them to where everybody else is Yeah, that's true What an odd island what an odd place long ring long island Yeah, bro put the Foxy Pirates in their place done the world a favor honestly if he's already fought 290 people of where that that scares them of fighting anyone ever again So I know there's like 10 filler after this so I'm guessing that's where the log takes them I don't know I haven't heard a single word. I'm you guys about the filler after this But then we begin water seven Well, I guess this technically was it is in water seven. I'm not sure Alrighty, so that is the end of the foxy pirate saga and it was uh questionable to say the least I think the the episodes leading like round one two and then those four uh four Other episodes in between who was just a little drawn out in terms of everything Like I feel like all of those episodes could have been condensed into like four total Like I feel like round one and two could have been done in like the span of like two episodes And then those other four could have been done in like one or two or they didn't even need to happen Realistically there's a timeline. Oh, I guess because then he needed to end up with Robin and Chopper But that that aside the fight with uh Luffy and voxy at the end was a pretty solid fight So I have to give it to him But now we skip I believe to 226 or so to to begin the next the next overarching saga water seven Which like I said, I believe this is this technically a part of it But still this was kind of like the precursor towards that I don't even know anything it has to do with but I'm excited to get a brand new freaking just overarching adventure going on That being said, let me know your thoughts down in the comments below on the foxy pirate saga what you thought of it I know it's a very polarizing sort of arc I guess you could say in the in the one piece community It was it was interesting that aside. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day as usual. I'll catch you in the next one Peace


In order to analyze an engineering system containing torsional loaded members we must first understand a deformation that results from torsion and the associated stress and strain state. We will take a look at these points closer in this video for the case of a circular shaft. Please note that all the formulas derived in this video are only applicable to a circular shaft. However, lucky for us this is the most common shaft geometry used for transmitting torsion in engineering systems. This is actually for good reason, however we will touch upon that in a later video on portion of non-circular shafts. For now let's take a closer look at what happens when we apply a torque to a circular shaft. For a deformable shaft I will be using this foam pool toy that is very flexible and has a circular cross section as you can see here. On the surface of the shaft I have drawn four lines around its circumference, distributed equally along its length. Additionally, a line parallel to the axis of the shaft has also been drawn on the surface. Observe what happens to these lines when an alternating torsional load is applied to the shaft. Two observations can be made. First, the four circumferential lines rotate but do not displace or distort. Second, the line along the axis of the shaft rotates through an angle but remains straight. By adding two more lines to the surface of the shaft, a rectangular element can be defined. Repeating the alternating torsional loading, the nature of this deformation becomes more apparent. As the lengths of the sides of the element do not change it can be concluded that the element does not experience any normal strains. However, the element does rotate through an angle just as a square element subjected to pure shear wood. Let's take a closer look at what is happening on our circular shaft of radius R. Consider a square element A, B, C, D on the surface of the circular shaft as shown here. For illustrative purposes, we have drawn the element large and visible. However, we are going to analyze it as an element of infinitesimal width, dx. Let's first isolate the portion of the shaft containing our infinitesimal element. As we ascertain from observing shear deformation in our form shaft, torsion creates a state of pure shear. Thus, if we apply a torque T to our segment of shaft, the square element A, B, C, D will undergo shear deformation, resulting in infinitesimal rotation of the shaft segment d phi. This angle is equal to the rotation of point B relative to point A along the axis of the shaft. On the surface of the shaft, our infinitesimal element must shear by angle gamma to be compatible with this deformation. This angle gamma is exactly the shear strain experienced by the element. Geometrically, we can relate the tangent of this angle gamma to the ratio of the length B, B prime over length AB. Length B, B prime is the arc length swept by radius R through infinitesimal angle d phi, or r times d phi. And length AB is simply the width of our element dx. Since we expect shear strain in real materials to be small, we can apply a small angle approximation where the tangent of our angle gamma is approximately equal to the angle itself in radians. Applying this approximation to the equation above, we can rearrange it to obtain that the shear strain gamma is equal to the infinitesimal angle of rotation of the segment d phi divided by the infinitesimal width of our segment dx, multiplied by radius R. In the previous slide, we examined the shear deformation on the surface of a segment of our shaft. Let's rename the shear strain at this location to gamma max and take a look at what is happening inside the segment at an arbitrary radius rho. Extracting the interior portion of our original segment at radius rho, we see that the surface of this extracted segment also undergoes shear deformation. Using the same approach as before, it is easy to see that the shear strain gamma at this new radius rho will have a similar relation to d phi and dx. This expression can be rearranged in terms of the outer surface shear strain gamma max resulting in the expression rho over R times gamma max. From this simplified expression, it becomes apparent that shear strain varies linearly with radius rho starting from zero at the center of the shaft and increasing to a maximum at the outermost surface of the shaft. All the previous equations were derived for a solid shaft. However, they are equally applicable to a hollow shaft. In the case of a hollow shaft, strain will vary linearly from a minimum at the inner surface to a maximum strain at the outer surface as shown here. Now that we understand the strain distribution within a shaft subjected to torsion, let's take a closer look at the stress distribution. In order to transform the strain distribution into stress, it is necessary to recall Hooke's law for shear as shown here. It is also necessary to visualize the pure state of shear stress acting on our infinitesimal element that will cause the shear deformation we observe. Finally, we must recall the linear shear strain distribution from the previous slides. Rearranging Hooke's law for shear stress and substituting in our shear strain distribution, we can see that the shear stress distribution also varies linearly from zero at the center of the shaft to a maximum at the outermost surface. Slightly less obvious is that due to the concept of complementary shear stress and the state of pure shear illustrated in our element in the center of the slide, this shear stress distribution describes the shear stress acting perpendicular to the radius over the cross-section of the shaft as well as the shear stress acting in the direction of the axis of the shaft as illustrated on the right. This resulting shear stress distribution again is a result of the principle of complementary shear stress. To recap, we first set out to take a look at the deformation associated with torsion and found that torsion produces twist resulting from a state of pure shear. Next, we took a look at the shear strain distribution compatible with this deformation and found that shear strain varies linearly with radial position within the cross-section of a shaft. Finally, we applied Hooke's law to convert the shear strain into a shear stress and found that shear stress also varies linearly with radial position within the cross-section.


Either or neither. That's what we're talking about in this video. Two confusing words that, guess what? These even confuse native English speakers as well. So don't worry, you're not alone, but I'm going to make the difference really easy for you and give you an easy way to remember if you should use either or neither. Of course, I'm Jennifer from jforistenglish.com and this channel is dedicated to helping you sound like a fluent, confident, natural English speaker. Now before we go any further, make sure you subscribe and hit that bell notification so you're notified every time I post a new video. Now, let's dive in with this lesson. Neither. Do you know what the difference is? If you do, stop right now and put it in the comments. Even if you don't, put it in the comments what you think the difference is and then you can compare it to the end of the video and see how much you learned today. I'm going to make this explanation real easy for you and by the end of the video, you'll feel confident using either and neither in sentences. This is definitely an area I see lots of mistakes with but not just with non-native English speakers. I see this with my friends, with my colleagues, with native English speakers as well. So don't worry too much about this but I will make it easy for you to remember. Now before we go any further, I just want you to know that the pronunciation is flexible. So you can say neither, neither, either, either. Okay, there's no difference. I might even change them throughout the video. If I do, there's no difference at all. I tend to use either and neither and that's generally what I hear being used in North America. With that said, let's talk about the difference between either and neither and let's start with either. In terms of structure, it's going to be either noun or noun and we use this structure when we're choosing between two options. It's really important that it's only two options. We don't use it with three and we don't use it with four. We use it with two options. Let's take a look at an example. Either Mike or John will help you. So as you can see, we have our structure either noun or noun, right? Now in terms of meaning, both of these situations are possible. It's possible that Mike will help you. It's possible that John will help you. Now it's important to know that it's only one person that will help you in the end. So in the end, you will have Mike or John. Either Mike or John will help you. So let's take a moment and practice now that we know how to form a sentence using either or. So pause the video if you need. Think of an example. Remember, the structure is either noun or noun and then the rest of your sentence. So think about what your sentence is and then put it in the comments below. Now before we move on, let's talk about different sentence structures using either. Now it's definitely possible that the nouns, Mike and John in this scenario, the nouns have already been identified, okay? And if that's the case, there are some other sentence structures that you can use. In fact, there are three possibilities. They mean exactly the same thing. So let's say that our nouns have already been identified. So I could say Mike and John are in the office today. So we already set the context that Mike and John are our nouns, right? I don't need to repeat that information. So I could say Mike and John are in the office today. Either one will help you. Notice here, either one, okay? Of course, either one, one is Mike and one is John. I don't need to repeat those nouns because I said them at the beginning part of my sentence. In this case, I can simply say either one will help you. Now remember, I said there's three different choices of sentence structure. I could also say either one of them will help you. So notice here, I'm just adding of them. Of course, the them is Mike and John. You got this, right? Okay, our third choice is I could say either of them will help you. So what am I doing different here? In this case, I'm simply dropping the one, right? So all three of these choices mean exactly the same thing. You can use them interchangeably. There's no difference at all. Remember, these three choices are used when the nouns have already been identified. So now take a second, take your example that you already used and change it so you identify the nouns first and then follow this structure. Remember, you have three different choices. So practice using all three and put your practice examples in the comments. Now let's talk about neither. The thing you need to remember is that neither is negative. So I think it's really easy to remember that it's negative because neither starts with an N and negative starts with an N. So you can just have that association in your brain, right? Neither, negative, neither, negative, N, N. So that's an easy way to remember it. So think of it as the exact same as either, but we use it in the negative. So instead of saying that both choices are available and possible like we did with either, we're using neither to deny those two choices, okay? They're not available. Now there's one important change that we need to make and this change is definitely something that native English speakers forget a lot, okay? But that change is we have to say neither noun. Do you know what I'm gonna say next? Do you? Put it in the comments if you do. Neither noun, nor, nor, now. Now again, I think this should be easy for you to remember because you just put an N in front of or, right? Nor, nor, N, negative, neither, negative. So use that brain association. I think it will be really easy for you to remember it that way. Neither, nor, okay? So let's take our original example with either and put it in the negative with neither. So pause the video, think about that and put it in the comments. What would our original example be with neither? Hmm, put it in the comments. Of course it would be neither Mike nor John will help you. I don't know why they won't help you but they won't because remember neither is negative. So we're saying those two choices are not available. So you can think of it as you have two choices, right? John and Mike. John won't help you, Mike won't help you. Neither Mike nor John will help you. Now the same three different sentence structures that we saw with either are exactly the same for neither. So in that case it's really easy. We just change either to neither. But remember it's negative, neither, negative. So pause the video, think about what our original examples were with either and put them in the comments with neither. Did you get them in the comments? Hopefully you did. So remember we need to put the context and identify our nouns. So I could still say Mike and John are in the office. They can still be in the office but they're just not willing to help you, okay? So Mike and John are in the office. Neither one will help you, right? Neither one will help you. What are the two other choices? Put them in the comments. Neither one of them will help you. Or our third choice? Neither of them will help you. Not very nice Mike and John are they? Okay, so by now you feel really comfortable with either and neither, right? But let me give you one more scenario before you go because it's an important one and this is an area that I see native English speakers make mistakes with, okay? So let's imagine you're talking to your friend and they just randomly say, I don't speak French. I don't speak French, okay? I don't negative. I don't speak French. Now, how can we answer this using neither? Hmm, I don't speak French. What would I say as my answer? Neither do I. Neither do I because it's negative. I don't speak French. So I'm matching my answer with neither because neither is negative, okay? Neither do I. Now there's a casual, a more casual informal way that native English speakers answer that and we simply say me neither, me neither. That's a little more of a casual way but I say it all the time. Neither do I is, you know, the formal way. Me neither. I don't speak French, me neither. I don't speak French, neither do I. Now I don't wanna confuse you but it is possible to answer this with either but it's not that common, okay? But I just want you to know that it's possible. I don't speak French. How can I answer this with either? Do you know? If you do, put it in the comments. Bonus points if you know this one. Put it in the comments. If I wanted to answer with either to a negative, I would have to make either negative, okay? I would have to say I don't speak French. I don't either. I don't either. I don't speak French. I don't either. In this case, there's only one possible answer. So that's definitely a possibility. It's just not as common as saying me neither, neither do I. But remember, negative statement, you use neither to agree with that negative statement. I don't like coffee, neither do I. Now before you go, just one more bonus thing, okay? Now imagine it was a positive statement, okay? And my friend said, I speak French. My answer would be, me too, me too, so do I, so do I. So if it's a positive statement and you're agreeing positively, we don't use either and we don't use neither, okay? So those don't exist in this situation. They're not choices. All right, awesome job. Now you know how to use either and neither and let me tell you right now, your knowledge is probably more advanced than many native English speakers. So awesome job today.

Meanwhile, the all-progressive Congress, APC chapter in river states has their refuted and disputed claims that its state chairman, Emeka Beke, was suspended by a faction of the party in the state. This came just hours after Beke, Ieyu Chukwu Asbriki, the state legal adviser, and Darlene Zinwauju, the state's publicity secretary, were all suspended by the party's state executive council on Wednesday. The party's state executive committee, led by Chike Iyenda, announced their suspension of media briefing in Botharket, blaming them for the party's poor performance in the 2023 election to the state. These leaders, which include the party's state chairman, Chief Emeka Beke, and the legal adviser, Mr. Iyenda Chukwu, Ieyu Chukwu, as he became, under the overall bidders of right Hennan Borotimi, Chief Emeka Beke, have since 2021 held this party on her knees in river states, and have been responsible for the max exodus of the members of the party into another party, as well as the failure experience by the party in the just concluded general election in river states. We, the members of the state executive committee, therefore, resort as follows. One, that Chief Emeka Beke, the chairman of our Progressive Congress in river states, is hereby suspended indefinitely, for anti-party activities, cross misconduct and financial mismanagement. Our member Beke and 16 other members of the executive committee refuted the claims and the press briefing of the party's state secretariat in Botharket. If you understand what is happening to the party, distraction, that's what they want to do, nothing more. If you watch in the last couple of the PDP, they are in front of INIC, they said it would be there till Friday. That's the last day we're going to file our case in the tribunal. But it's going to be shocking to them that we're going to file our case in the tribunal. The allegation against our leader, the former transportation minister and former governor of river states, the Rady Honore Buchibike Routimi and Mechi, is preposterous to say the least because prior to the general elections, there was no event, there was no meeting, there was nothing of sorts where our leader directed any member of the leader, the state working committee or the state executive committee of the APC to vote against our party, the APC. The state working committee of the party does not even have powers to suspend any member of the party. The state working committee on the 21 of the 2022 constitution of the party as amended only enshrines, only gives room for the state working committee to recommend.
