The war ragging in the All Progressives Congress APC in Rivers State has worsened with the suspension of Sen. Magnus Abe, Hon. Igo Aguma, Wogu Boms and Livingstone Wechie by the camp of the party loyal to the Minister of Transportation Chibuike Amaechi.
The faction of the party loyal to Amaechi had on Saturday suspended Abe, Aguma, Wechie and Boms, and expelled some others for alleged anti-party activities.
This was happening while, the faction of the party under the leadership of the party suspended Isaac Abbot-Ogbobula, the caretaker committee chairman of the camp loyal to Amaechi.
However, in a statement in Port Harcourt Monday, the spokesman for APC, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke, loyal to Amaechi, warned that the party would not tolerate acts of destabilization.
