Rotimi Amaechi, minister of
transportation, says he is not a leader to Magnus Abe, senator representing
Rivers south-east.
There has been a face-off between
the two politicians in recent months, but last week, at the secretariat of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), Abe described Amaechi as his leader.
Reacting in a statement issued on
Sunday, Amaechi said Abe is a devious character and cannot be his follower.
“I am not Magnus Abe’s leader.
Abe has long left me and the political family that is largely responsible for
his rise and fame in politics,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers governor
accused Abe of sponsoring people against him.
He said: “How can I be Abe’s
leader when he and the minions sponsored by him (Abe), privately and publicly
abuses, insults, cast aspersions etc on me, my wife and members of my family,
daily? Is that how a follower treats his Leader?
“It’s cheap and indeed shameful
political sophistry for Abe to stand in the APC secretariat and deceitfully say
I am his Leader, while all he has done, both privately and publicly in recent
times is to undermine me, the APC and desecrate the APC in Rivers State. As a
matter of fact, it is indeed very doubtful if Senator Abe is still in the APC.
He mouths APC but his actions belie his words and clearly tell a different
story.”
He said Abe is not committed to
the APC and his actions have weakened the party in Rivers state.
“Such a hypocritical, devious character
cannot be my follower. I am not his Leader,” he said.
