APC Gives Amaechi, Abe Three Months Ultimatum To Reconcile

Rivers State Chapter of All Progressive Congress (APC) has given the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and former representative of Rivers South-East Senatorial District, Senator Magnus Abe three months ultimatum to settle their rift or face sanctions.

The leader of APC in Ahoada Local Government Area of Rivers, Ibiso Nwuche gave this directive after an extraordinary meeting of the party held in Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state on Monday.

The Leader of the group who announced the development after the meeting said the ultimatum was due to the failure of the APC leadership in the state to resolve the crisis rocking the party.

He said, “Having not had any benefit from the party due to failed leadership from the state and the grassroots levels in Ahoada East, we resolved and gave them (Amaechi and Abe), till July this year to reconcile themselves at the top and move the party forward before we take next action.” 

He added that comments by Amaechi directing the riverine part of the state to prepare and produce the APC governorship candidate to take over power in 2023 were his personal opinion, adding that the Ekeye ethnic nationality will express their interest come 2023.
