The Igo Aguma-led faction of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has slammed the Honourable Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi for not attending the meeting between leaders of the South-South region and the Federal Government.
Aguma in a statement through his media aide, Livingstone Wechie today said Amaechi’s action is an evidence of the type of divisible and selfish leadership he is giving the party in the state.
The statement reads:
1. The All Progressives Congress APC in Rivers state condemns the absence of the godfather of the APC in Rivers state, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation from the South-South Stakeholders meeting with the Presidency which held in Port Harcourt on Tuesday November 24, 2020.
2. Information available to the APC in the State is that His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi was at the Airport in Port Harcourt to receive the Presidential Delegation, escorted them to the venue of the meeting, disappeared and was never part of such a crucial Stakeholders meeting that has to do with the South-South geopolitical zone.
3. The absence of the Minister of Transportation, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi who is supposed to be the Minister representing Rivers State in the Federal Cabinet of His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari is most unfortunate as there can be no justification for his non participation. This is because there can be no plausible reason for his disappearance from such an important meeting of the leadership of the South-South and the Presidency aimed at discussing issues affecting our region.
4. The action of the godfather of the APC in Rivers state His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi is an evidence of the type of divisive and selfish leadership he is giving the APC in the state which is solely aimed at destroying the Party at all cost for his personal gain in keeping with his vows.
5. The APC in Rivers state therefore demands that His Excellency Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi should follow the precedence set by the Presidency by tendering an unreserved apology to the people of Rivers State and the APC in the state over his embarrasing action.
Signed:
Livingstone Wechie,Media Adviser to the Acting/Caretaker Committee Chairman of APC Rivers state Rt. Hon. Igo Aguma 25/11/2020
