Rivers APC: Abe dares Amaechi over imposition of guber candidate

By DANIEL ALABI

The internal crisis rock­ing the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rivers State chapter worsened on Tuesday.

This is coming as a member of the Nigerian National Pe­troleum Corporation (NNPC) Board of Directors, Senator Magnus Abe faulted the Min­ister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi on the imposition of a candidate ahead of the 2023 governorship race.

Abe said that it was too ear­ly to begin talking about where the governorship candidate of the party should come from when the party has not set up its administrative structure and cautioned that an indi­vidual cannot impose or zone governorship candidate of the party.

He argued that the party was yet to initiate a process to bring all its members to one fold, set up a structure to elect party executives and wondered why an individual should be talking about the zoning of a governorship candidate.

The former secretaries to the Rivers State government posited that Amaechi’s com­ment on zoning was his per­sonal opinion and warned that no individual can be bigger than the party. (Daily INDEPENDENT)
