Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Magnus Abe war has taken a fresh dimension as the senator has revealed why Rotimi is against his Rivers State 2019 governorship ambition………
“ The decision to stop me was taken long ago. That is exactly what Governor Wike warned me against when he came to my house prior to his decision to leave the group. What is happening in Rivers State APC has nothing to do with building the party, it is all about stopping Abe.”
“There is always this attempt to play down Wike’s contribution to Amaechi’s success in the court. Wike was pivotal to what happened in the court, just as I was to how Amaechi got the nomination”
“When Amaechi was in Ghana, he was talking to me more than five times every day, at a stage I was the only person in Peter Odili’s Government he was talking to”
“When Amaechi came back from Ghana, immediately after he was sworn-in as governor, he appointed Wike as his Chief of Staff and appointed me as Secretary to the State Government. So if Sen. Uchendu feels the governor, in his wisdom, chose to appoint people who did not support his struggles to such strategic positions in his government, then too bad.”
“I have not taken a decision on my governorship ambition but everywhere I go to people say I will be governor of Rivers State I respond with a loud Amen.”
