Abe Hits Amaechi: Your Impunity Destroying APC

Senator Magnus Abe, has condemned reports of the inauguration of Local Government and Ward Executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State by the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon Rotimi Amaechi.

Abe, in a statement by his spokesperson, Parry Saroh Benson, described the inauguration as an act of impunity, pointing out that it was the same attitude of insensibility that has kept the party comatose in Rivers State.

The senator posited that any inauguration of caretaker committees without consultation of other stakeholders will only put the party in more chaotic situation.

He said: “It is this imperial approach to the challenges facing the party without the input and consultation of other stakeholders, that is responsible for the crisis in the party. It is clear that those who believe in the power of man are once again on the move.

“It is indeed unfortunate at this critical time in the political game, that the APC in Rivers State has learnt nothing and forgotten nothing, it appears that the minister and his supporters are still hell-bent on “their way or the highway”.

The end result of this kind of behaviour is not difficult to predict. As usual, it will end in failure. When it fails, Nigerians should note that the choice of impunity, disrespect for party members, exclusion of critical stakeholders, contempt for judicial pronouncements and petty arrogance, over humility and inclusiveness is the foundation of our serial failure as a party”.

Abe had in an earlier letter to the APC National Caretaker Committee Chairman, His Excellency Alhaji Mai Mala Buni dated the 5th day of December, 2020,  advised the party on the need to review it modus operandi in Rivers state.

Senator Abe maintained that he will remain committed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State and continue with a broad-based consultation and reach out process aimed at finding workable solutions to the current challenges facing the party in the State.

Soon after the meeting commenced, our correspondent reports that thugs brandishing various weapons breached the security of Arewa House, vandalised properties and chased out participants and stakeholders.
