Leke Baiyewu, AbujaThe lawmaker representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District, Senator Magnus Abe, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the affairs of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, alleging that the Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, is dividing the party. Abe, while addressing journalists in Abuja on Monday, alleged that Amaechi, by his activities in the APC, was exposing the party to threats by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers. There is a court order, an existing order of a court of competent jurisdiction that stopped the congresses in Rivers State. “There is a valid and subsisting court order that stopped the congresses. As far as Rivers State is concerned, the people should be allowed to decide who their leaders are,” he stated.
