The former Kano state governor gave the warning when he received the leadership of Senator Magnus Abe’s group at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
“We have now come to the end of the problem in APC Rivers State, as the three major blocks have now come to work together to build APC that we know in Rivers state.
“The blocks are the APC members that have been there despite all that happened. The second is the group of those who broke away from APC for one reason or the other and have decided to come back to the fold. That block is very strong and that shows hope and the third block is the block coming from the PDP. This is from the wind that we have seen so far.”
The leader of the delegation, Senator Wilson Ake, said he is confident in Ganduje’s ability to rejig the APC, particularly in Rivers state which he said had faced many challenges leading to disaffections and seeming disintegration.
