A leader of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Senator Abe Magnus, has debunked claims by Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, that he is working with the State Governor Nyesom Wike against the party.
The Rivers APC had been engulfed in crisis since the party’s primaries were held in the state with factions loyal to Amaechi and Abe laying claim to the leadership of the party.
The crisis between the two factions led to the dispute over the gubernatorial ticket of the party.
The crisis is already taking it’s toll on the party as APC will not be fielding candidates in Rivers elections.
In a statement sent to THISDAY on Friday, the senator accused Amaechi of making false allegation against him that he was working for Governor Wike, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.
While faulting Amaechi’s claim, he also made other allegations.
His statement read: “I have received several calls this morning that the the Minister of Transportation Rt Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi was on air this morning alleging that I am being used by Gov Wike to destabilise the APC in Rivers state.
