Chidi Lloyd, an ally of Rotimi
Amaechi, minister of transportation, has apologised for insulting President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Lloyd had accused Buhari of
turning against members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state.
Magnus Abe, senator representing
Rivers south-east, had tackled Lloyd, warning those supporting Amaechi against
blaming their woes on the president.
But in his response to Abe, Lloyd
said the senator colluded with Nyeson Wike, governor of the state, to prevent
the APC from gaining power.
He also accused Abe of collecting
gifts from the governor to frustrate APC, adding that the senator did
everything in his power to thwart Buhari’s reelection.
“My attention has been drawn to
an orchestrated mischief titled: “Stop Abusing President Buhari, Abe Cautions
Amaechi” by Senator Magnus Abe aimed at pushing my personal views as though
they were that of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi,” he said.
“Ordinarily, and by my nature, I
wouldn’t have bothered with a reply to the diatribes but for the damage he
intends to do, I want to state categorically that my views are my personal
thoughts and should not be credited to any other person other than me.
“I want to state here that no
reasonable member of the APC in Rivers State feels happy over what is happening
in Rivers State of which Magnus Abe is part of.
“As a stakeholder in the politics
of Rivers State, I feel sad that a collaboration of Senator Magnus Abe and
Governor Wike and their accomplices in the Rivers State Judiciary denied us so
much in power structure of Rivers State.
“Every true Nigerian will agree
with me that President Buhari’s emergence and subsequent re-election is the
best thing that has ever happened to Nigeria.
“I am a full supporter of
President Buhari and I am doing that without regrets. My statement may have
sounded harsh, I regret it and take responsibility for that. I am sorry. I
spoke in anger because of the collusion of INEC and Wike in Rivers State
Governorship and State Houses of Assembly Elections.”
