Chukwudi Akasike, Port Harcourt

The immediate past lawmaker representing RiversSouth-East Senatorial District, Senator Magnus Abe, has disagreed with the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, over the alleged move to conduct the congresses of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State.

Abe said in a statement on Monday that the announcement by Amaechi that the congresses would be conducted in Rivers was unacceptable.

Amaechi was said to have announced to his supporters shortly after his inauguration in Abuja by President Muhammadu Buhari that there would be congress in the state.

Abe spoke at the weekend when members of the APC Visionary Media Team paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

He said in the statement signed by his spokesperson, Mr. Parry Benson, that rather than concentrate on achieving the needed contribution to national development, Amaechi was creating another avenue for tension and crisis in the political structure of the party.

Abe pointed out that the minister was demonstrating the same unruly behaviour that brought the party in Rivers State to a fiasco.


The senator urged the minister to demonstrate his sincerity in rebuilding the party by consulting others and showing respect for the rights and feelings of all members of the party.

Abe, however, appealed to members to be resolute and committed to the growth of the party in the state.

He assured the group that even if he was out of office, he was still a politician committed to the development of the party, insisting that what is needed is peace, inclusiveness, progress and the commitment of all members to move the party forward.

“Look at the state of our party here today in Rivers State, yet the Minister of Transportation, on assumption of office as Minister of Transportation; the first thing he did was to announce congresses in Rivers State and I ask myself, this was the same kind of behaviour that led the party to where it is.

“Everybody in Nigeria knows that the origin of the crisis in Rivers APC was from the congress and how the congress was handled and there are extant judicial pronouncements on the last congress, which the party was misled to ignore and we have all kept quiet in the hope that by keeping quiet, we will create room for resolution of some of these challenges, so that the party can move forward.

”Instead, you become more brazen in your challenge to the rights, feelings, and interest of others within the same political party. How do we do that and expect to make progress?

”What kind of congress? Is he the chairman of the party? Is he the National Working Committee? Is he the court? What gives him the power to come and announce congress on the day he was inaugurated as a minister?

”Rather than address the issues of the country and the issues of his ministry, the first thing he could do was to reopen the sourest point in the heart of members of the party. And it is on that basis that party members are deprived of all rights and benefits in the party we all suffered to build. Is that how to grow a political family? Is that how to grow politics? We will not accept that congress.

”Minister cannot sit in his office and make pronouncement on a matter in which he and several other people have interest; people have gone to court, people have fought for their rights in that congress and the same thing that he did before, by creating confusion in the first place, he is determined to continue to do it because he wants to prove to the world that he is a conqueror. As I said before, nobody can conquer Rivers people.

I dey here dey watch una two

These two won't just agree and work together.

Check my signature now. It is brand new and affordable.
DM for details.

Oshiomhole should please expel Magnus Abe from APC. There can never be peace in the party in as much as Abe is still a member. Someone who is only interested in instigating crisis in the party should not be tolerated. Expelling the Wike mole is the only panacea for peace in Rivers APC.

As it has been from the beginning, is now and ever shall it be.Rivers APC crisis-world without end amen.

Amaechi.... the clown!

The Bible says they will gather but I will confound them

Yoruba Muslims una no go advise una Amaechi now ooooo. Aftee now you will all turn back to blame innocent Wike.

Ok, will Amaechi and Magnus ever stop antagonising themselves. Both of them are still dwelling in yesterday instead of focusing on tomorrow via today.
Obviously the more they fight the stronger the opposition.

Yakade:
The Bible says they will gather but I will confound them

The Bible wasn't referring to APC

Very soon some lazy youth go start to dey kill them self

why can't Abe leave APC for Amaechi n join PDP?

Abe, the wike mole in our party will be dealt with at appropriate time

Rivers of blood? Its not possible.. How are we going to conduct Congress... In a state that has great insecurity issues.. Cultist hear and there, killings here and there, Rivers state where APC has no representative at the moment... AMEACHI MUST BE OUT OF HIS SENSES... what happened to Abuja, lagos, kaduna, kano etc...
What even to Edo state the chairman's state... Please let's leave rivers state alone with its insecurity... Lets dem not harm our president for us... Thank you...

Am sure you don't know the meaning of clown

Abe should go n get his ticket from CCC.
So this fool want to return to the senate after truncating all the hopes of every APC member to be elected in the last election.

Big clown !

Oh my God! Amaechi and Abe again, these two would never learn. One needs to leave the party for the other for the party to have peace in the State since even Buhari can't bring the two to the table and resolve their differences. Finally, Amaechi's ego is just something else. Tufiakwa!

His mission is not yet complete

Lol. Abe again?
But Amaechi sef!
Isn't it obvious that 2 captains cannot stir a ship!
Instead of all this bickering and atagonizing dat led to the crash of APC in Rivers, why don't he work with the NWC to covertly have Abe expelled from the party then he can run rivers apc the way he deems fit.
Yh but if he had done dis 1yr ago, atleast APC would hv gotten a little inroad in Rivers State
