APC leaders never visit Rivers when crisis started at the state’s chapter of the party
The sources alleged that the leaders who have been visiting Rivers state recently did not visit the state when the chapter was having a crisis.
They noted that Amaechi is the first runner-up in the APC presidential primaries, defeating the vice president, Yemi Osinbajo and senate president, Ahmed Lawan and that he is still the leader of the party in the state.
They also alleged that rather than the leaders rallying around Amaechi, they’re busy persuading Wike with a number of promises.
Tinubu supporting Magnus Abe
The sources also alleged that Tinubu is bankrolling Magnus Abe, a former senator who recently resigned his membership from the APC to contest the state’s gubernatorial election on the platform of the Social Democratic Party.
“Magnus Abe is Tinubu’s boy. He is always with Tinubu. Even after joining the SDP, he is still with Tinubu and has promised to work for Tinubu’s campaign.
Yet they cannot caution him,” the source said.
