The Leader of the Third Force in the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rt. Hon. Igo Aguma in this interview with Ijeoma Osamor which was monitored by Holygist on the African Independent Television (AIT,) elaborates on the numerous issues preventing the resolution of the lingering APC crisis in Rivers State. He insists the progress of the party is more important and bigger than the interest and ambitions of the Transportation Minister, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Magnus Abe and urged the national party executive to seek an immediate resolution of the crisis

Now let’s start from the beginning, how did it all start? Why did you start with this whole controversy knowing that there has been so much battle in APC Rivers State?

Well my genuine love for the party, the many years I have sacrificed to build the party with other persons. And we have to say the truth. Let the polity know that the APC is not a micro party of just two persons. There are several stakeholders, statesmen and women. Who, an aggregation of every body's support base builds the party. We have a situation where for about four years since the runoff in 2015 to 2019, our effort in four years has been wasted. We had a programme that would have genuinely delivered the Free Rivers Movement as a mobilization strategy. And indeed if you saw what happened in the Presidential Election in Rivers State, it shows that if we were in the ballot, we probably would have won the governorship. Even if we didn’t, we would have had many seats in both National and State Assemblies. So you find out that the ego, the ego play is what has kept APC Rivers comatose

Before we go your final words?

I want to say that the problem in APC is resolvable. A political party is a social entity in which everyone has a stake in it. The days of feudal politics are gone. The days of Alabo said this is gone. We should come to the table; everybody included and resolve the issue. We are indeed a party poised to bust out in Rivers State.
