Senator Magnus Abe representing
Rivers South-East senatorial district in the National Assembly has outlined how
the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi caused the current crisis rocking the
All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State.
Abe also vowed that he will not
leave the APC for another political party.
The Senator traced the crisis to
the March 4, 2017 meeting convened by the Minister of Transportation, Mr.
Chibuike Amaechi, in Port Harcourt.
The Senator spoke through his
Spokesperson, Parry Saroh Benson in a statement in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
He said, “I will not leave the
APC even in the face of needless provocation and unwarranted bitterness.
“As I told the state Chairman of
the party, last Sunday, every member of the party knows the cause and the
reason for the present crisis in the APC in Rivers State and I will also state
it here.
“The Minister of Transportation
made several shocking pronouncements that heralded the root of our present
crisis. He publicly declared that Senator Magnus Abe and Dr. Dakuku Peterside
were both running for governor, and that he had ordered both of them to stop.
“He said Dr. Peterside had
stopped and Senator Abe had not, and that anyone supporting Senator Abe should
leave the party immediately.
“He went on to name party leaders
sympathetic to Abe and declared that they must leave the party.
“The Minister declared at that
meeting that anyone who failed to show absolute loyalty to him personally
should receive no benefit or recognition from the party whatsoever, including
contracts and patronage.”
