Rivers APC Crisis: Aguma Hits Back At Amaechi

A frontline chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Rivers State, Hon. Igo Aguma, has hit back at the leader of the party in the state and Minister of Transportation, Rt Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, describing him (Amaechi) as a dictator that is bent on running the opposition party in the state as a private estate.
Hon Aguma, ex-two-time member of the House of Representatives and former Commissioner in the state made the scathing remarks while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt, recently.
The former federal lawmaker who was reacting to issues raised against him by a group of APC leaders loyal to the transportation minister and immediate past governor of the state vowed to resist the alleged overbearing tendencies of Rt Hon Amaechi, while describing the group as interlopers and surrogates of the minister.
“The interlopers are men of today clamped together to reinforce the ‘do what I say’ disposition of the Honorable Minister of Transport, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi against the gainful opinions of others in the party,” he said, adding: “If I may ask, where were they when we spent time, money and energy to build the party in Rivers State from inception?’’
Dismissing the group’s earlier accusations against him of playing out the script of the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, to disorganise the APC in the state for his selfish gains because he could not secure any national appointment, Hon Aguma laughed and said there could not be anything wrong if he expected to have an appointment given his contributions to the party.
