Rotimi AmaechiThe festering crisis within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State deepened further at the weekend, as the Caretaker Committee Chairman loyal to the Transport Minister, Chibuke Amaechi, Isaac Ogbobula, suspended Senator Magnus Abe, Igo Aguma and his media assistant, Livingstone Wechie, and former Attorney- General and Commissioner for Justice, Wogu Boms, over alleged anti-party activities. A High Court sitting in Port Harcourt had on June 9, 2020, declared the Ogbobula-led committee illegal and confirmed Aguma, a former member of the House of Representatives, chairman of the party.
Crisis in the party began in 2015, when two factions emerged – the Amaechi and Abe factions – following Abe’s interest to fly the party’s flag in the 2015 and 2019 elections, which Amaechi opposed.
