Rivers 2023: Amaechi Acting On Our Behalf – Princewill Rebuffs Abe

All Progressives Congress, APC chieftain Prince Tonye Princewill has rebuffed the claims of Senator Magnus Abe on the claim that Rotimi Amaechi acted unilaterally in the decision to zone the 2023 governorship ticket of the party to the riverine section of the state.

Speaking when he arrived the ancestral city of Buguma, in Rivers State to revalidate his membership of the APC, Princewill said that Abe had been out of the loop with the Amaechi led tendency for sometime and was as such ignorant of the consensus that led to the pronouncement.

Princewill while validating his membership of the APC also called on the citizenry and party members to register with the party towards enthroning a sense of purposefulness in the polity.

Princewill used the opportunity to respond to the assertion by Abe that Amaechi lacked the power to make a pronouncement on zoning for the 2023 election.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG had reported Abe as questioning the reported pronouncement saying that Amaechi lacked the power to singularly decide the region to produce the next candidate of the state.

Responding to Abe, Princewill said: “When Amaechi made comments that favoured him, he was silent. I agree that the Leader can not act alone in making such huge pronouncements.

“But he isn’t acting alone. He consulted, felt the pulse of the people and took a position. Magnus (Abe) has not been around Amaechi for a while, so maybe he isn’t aware,” Princewill said, adding, “You have to excuse him”

Princewill, however, agreed that no zone or peoples can do it without the others. “Magnus (Abe) is right on that front and while I am grateful to the Leader (Amaechi) for the recognition of reality, we know we have to work harder to make it a result,” Princewill said.

“That means enough of paying lawyers and trouble makers and more of touching people. All sides are suffering. Supporters are dying. This should be our focus.”

Asked whether he would contest in the next election, he pointed out that it was ambition that put the party in the problem it was now trying to get out of.

“Anyone who loves the party and Rivers state will put politics to one side. It is far, far too early.”
