The Senator representing Rivers South-East senatorial district in the National Assembly, Senator Magnus Abe, has said that Governor Nyesom Wike was benefiting from the political blunders committed by the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi in the state.

Abe, who was reacting to allegations by Amaechi, that he (Abe) was responsible for the crisis in the party, called on Amaechi, who is leader of APC in the state to swallow his pride and accept responsibility of his actions that plunged the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State into the present crisis.

He said: “Amaechi talks about how he contributed to 80 per cent of Rivers politicians but he has never mentioned to Nigerians what 80 per cent of Rivers politicians contributed to him to make him what he is today. If he made everybody, what did God do? “Nigerians should ask who is working for Wike, it is the problem Amaechi foisted on APC that Wike is benefiting from, his political blunders made him Wike’s greatest benefactor. “When this crisis started, we tried to draw his attention but he refused. We were telling him that if this crisis continues, he will suffer the outcome. What did he do when everybody was telling him including his close friends, that he will suffer ultimately because he is the leader of the party?”

Abe described Amaechi’s comments against him as very insulting, childish and an attempt to deviate from the crux of the matter. He said neither INEC nor the Rivers State governor, Wike was responsible for the pitiable situation the party (APC) in the state has found itself.

“It is unfortunate that Amaechi, has failed to acknowledge his actions which had dragged the APC in Rivers State to the edge. It is not the INEC Chairman, not Wike, it is not myself but the actions of the APC leader in Rivers, Amaechi that has dragged the party to where it is.” “Ameachi’s comment today on the radio was very childish, what he should be talking about by this time as a politician is the way forward. How do we come together to deliver the President, because everybody’s votes including the aggrieved people are necessary for the President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Secondly, I feel insulted when Amaechi said that Wike was using me. With all due respect to the governor of Rivers State, he is not in any way my superior. He is my junior at the Bar and in politics. “I have tried as much as possible for us to keep our dirty linen inside, Amaechi should not open his mouth again and say Wike is using me. He, Amaechi could not use me as a governor, against my principles and my beliefs, so how can Wike in a different party use me.”

wike is reaping from APC's indifference and incompetence

Rotimi Ameachi Sold Rivers State to Wike due to Pride!

The Bible Says PRIDE comes before a Fall!

Abe was the Right And Most Experienced candidate to give Wike a Fight but Rotimi Ameachi Threw his Penalty Over the Bar...

A house divided against itself can't stand. Because of ego amaechi refused to realize that Magnus Abe is the most qualified APC governorship candidate. And APC would have given Rivers PDP a run for their money if they had chosen Abe to fly their flag in this coming election, because Abe came from a politically marginalized region of Rivers state.

Amaechi is an author of confusion period

same way atiku is benefitting from buhari's political & economic blunders

O lord,pls send confusion into the camp of the enemy.

Grown men airing their dirty laundry

Ala gbagbue ha there

I would always say it that south south and south east no sabi play God fatherism politics, every one here has a mind of his own... IMO and River State APC is in crisis because of this...

It keeps beating my imagination that Jagaban has the whole of Lagos to his pocket, you see that shit that happened that got the sitting governor disgraced that he couldn't secure a return ticket can't happen here...

The Jazz and influence that bouldilion guy has on Lagosians is epic

Ameachi is doing all this on purpose, Wike is from his tribe. They don't want other tribe to rule Rivers state

Who cares. Feb 23rd is what we are all looking forward to. We will teach u all a lesson

That one called amechi get sense i doubt it

This issue has gone on and on and on.

Both men couldn't put pride aside and work for the party.

Abe is equally guilty.


I have not seen that politician in Rivers, and in Nigeria at large who doesn't try to impose his successor.

Wike and his supporters have mouth to talk and accuse Amaechi of imposition and godfatherism.

1.Last year's local government elections; Wike handpicked 99 percent of the chairmen in the 23 LGA's.

2.The 2019 PDP primaries for assembly, reps and senate; Wike handpicked 99 percent of the candidates contesting from next week.

3.By 2023 Wike will handpick his successor.

So Amaechi is not doing anything extraordinary.

Sometimes when consensus is done, the leader of the party most times has the biggest say.

What we now have is a Magnus Abe who now feels very big; as big as Amaechi. And cannot be dictated to.

Abe should be more humble in dealing with a man who is bigger than him politically.

APC has got 2 senators and some legislative seats and political appointments because Amaechi singlehandedly made it so.

Yes it is true that someone like Odilli made Amaechi and Amaechi cannot be seen haggling words with Odilli in the media.
This is between Abe, Wike and Amaechi; and in-between the 3 of them, they have benefited more from Amaechi in terms of political patronage.

Abe and Wike cannot fool everybody, they can only fool some.

We know the role that Wike played when the problem between Amaechi and Abe was just beginning with that very first judgement.

Make Atiku sha enter first.
We need life again.

''If he made everybody, what did God do?'' Ameachi's arrogance is his greatest undoing

Nigeria belongs to Nigerians. Say no to tribalism. Say no to religious bigotry. Let's try competent hands. Dasuki stole money and he is in jail without trial, Babachair Lawal stole money and he is campaigning for Buhari. As bad as PDP was, Gov Alameisiagh and Bode George went to jail. Tafa the Ex IGP went to jail under PDP. Election under OBJ was a mess and Yaradua Jonathan reformed it. Buhari had 4 years to further improve on it yet he failed. Jonathan introduced TSA and BVN. We need strong institutions. Finally if we fail let's fail together and if we improve let's improve together not having a tribe benefitting more than 250 tribes.

Ameachi Just Got Wike'fied'.

Every body in rivers state knwz that wike is d one that made ameachi governor

Hector09:
Every body in rivers state knwz that wike is d one that made ameachi governor

lemme guess

1.Wike was the one who made Amaechi the governorship candidate.

2.Wike fought karate with Obasanjo when Obasanjo substituted Amaechi's name.

3.Wike fired some gun shots to make Amaechi governor.

4.Wike was in the supreme court panel that made Amaechi governor.

What exactly did Wike do for Amaechi?

There are some lies that keep being repeated they begin to sound like the truth.

The best Wike did was employ lawyers to fight Amaechi's case.
And it wasn't just Wike; there was Abe, Uchendu, Chukwu and some others who worked together to fight in court.

So true

Yes, it's like soccer when a team is injured the other team enjoy. But he is not responsible for the misjudgement

With all due respect to the governor of Rivers State, he is not in any way my superior. He is my junior at the Bar and in politics. “

I love the bold statement by Senator Magnus Abe.
And certain persons some where are saying CRA is a boy to Wike..........
I still wonder where and how did they arrive at that.

A true son of Rivers people and the Niger Delta region!

What Magnus said is just the truth; No addition, no subtraction.

Ameachi is an extremely proud man. He is the cause of the problem...and instead of him to take responsibility for his mistakes, he is still deceiving a huge population of their supporters into thinking that Wike and Magnus are working togeda. That's why some of them are saying Abe is a bad man...some of them are going to protest at the INEC office.

It is very simple and clear. In 2015, Ameachi refused Abe to run as APC gubernatorial candidate, he brought Dakuku....becos he knows he can't control Abe. If Abe became governor, Ameachi's influence in Rivers state will be diminished, which is the only thing he actually cares about...to be a godfather like tinubu in lagos. Now Abe begged, he refused....Abe left it. Now again 2019, Abe wanted to run, Ameachi refused...Ameachi even said over his dead body Abe will not be governor of rivers state. He went to bring Tonye Cole...someone that nobody knew...becos he wants someone he can control....someone he can use to loot rivers state. The day he announced Tonye to d APC leaders in Rivers, the entire room went quiet. They were all shocked. The meeting was to know which of them, that have invested time and resources into the party, would be the candidate. Only for him to tell them it was going to be one Tonye Cole, that they didn't even know was in the party. He told them that, took no questions, left them in that state of shock and left to Abuja....that was the day he traveled with Buhari to China.

I am not an APC supporter but I was privy to this information....nobody should blame Abe. When the crises was looming, Abe even went to him....that, allow me contest primaries, and let the best man win. Let the people's choice be known. He refused and rejected Abe as if he was a nobody. Abe also decided he must run.

If Ameachi really loved rivers people and wanted to deliver them from a bad government like he claims. Why must it be his own candidate that must run and not the people's choice?? Why is he fighting to have someone he chose(in 2015 and 2019) to be in that office and not the people's choice??

I look at the blind followers he has in Rivers and it breaks my heart. This is a man that his only interest is to be in charge of the wealth of the state. He does not want anybody he cannot control to be there.

I pity rivers youth supporting him....as is the norm with Rivers youths, they only think about the small change they are getting at that time. They never think for themselves....

I know someone in rivers, when Ameachi was governor, he was under several scholarships. Just this one person was paid from different schemes. He was living like a god at a very young age....he was avin so much money but he never invested....all he did was carry women, parties, lavishing money. Wike won, his source was cut off....for this singular reason he hates Wike and is campaigning for Ameachi as if that's his destiny. This is the typical mindset of most Rivers youths..."their immediate choppings"...no thot about future.

This epistle reeks of nothing but hypocrisy.

Wike handpicked all the local government chairmen, assembly, reps and senate candidates.
But am sure you support him.
He only got away with all that because he is in power.

Watch and see how Wike handpicks his successor in 2023.
