The All Progressives Congress,
APC, in Rivers State has reacted to comments credited to Senator Magnus Abe
against leader of the party in the state, Chibuike Amaechi.
Speaking during the week, Abe had
stated that the State Governor, Nyesom Wike, warned him against Amaechi.
The APC said the Senator has
started to fall for the Governor and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, adding
that the party was not afraid.
The secretary of the party in the
state, Emeka Beke told Vanguard yesterday that Senator Abe was compounding
matters with his seeming determination not to toe the common path as agreed by
major stakeholders in the party.
Senator Abe is claiming that
Amaechi and his close associates were against his 2019 governorship aspiration.
Beke said, “Clearly, after the
rerun, the leader of the party in the state, Amaechi addressed the party on the
need to rebuild and make the party formidable. He stressed the need for the
party to be strong.
“But Abe refused to abide by the
advice. Nobody has stopped or intends to stop him from running in the election.
Amaechi is not against him. But the position of Amaechi is that we need to
build the party to be able to stand the PDP in the election.
“It is obvious that Abe is
beginning to fall for the PDP and Governor Wike. But APC is not afraid of that
development. Those who believe in APC are not going to Wike for anything but
Abe is.
“Abe is taking everything to the
extreme. All APC members should remain strong. We are rebuilding the party,
like what happened last week at Ogbakiri where over 2000 members of PDP
decamped to our party is a testimony.”
