The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ahoada Local Government Area of Rivers State has given the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; and Senator Magnus Abe three months to settle their differences or face sanctions.
The APC in Ahoada reached this decision after an extra-ordinary meeting in Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state.
Leader of the group, Ibiso Nwuche, said the ultimatum became necessary as the APC leadership in the state have failed to resolve the crisis rocking the party.
“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,” Nwuche said.
He further stated that the comments by Amaechi directing the riverine part of the state to prepare and produce the APC governorship candidate to take over power in 2023 was his personal opinion, adding that the Ekeye ethnic nationality will express their interest come 2023.
Nwuche urged the minister to allow internal democracy thrive as only delegates of the party can decide who will fly the party’s flag.
