PORT HARCOURT— SPOKESMAN of Pan Niger Delta Forum, Chief Anabs Sara-Igbe, has said Minister of Transportation, Mr Chibuike Ameachi, must reconcile divisions in Rivers State’s All Progressives Congress, APC, now or lose the state governorship again come 2019.

Sara-Igbe, on implication of eventual factionalisation of the party from the national level  down,  said failure by Amaechi to shun perceived imposition and allow a reconciled Rivers APC to democratically pick the party’s 2018 governorship flag bearer would further compromise the party’s guber chances in the next election.

He said: “Amaechi is not contesting the governorship of Rivers in 2019, for sure he has been statutorily banned from contesting governorship having served two times as governor. Therefore, he should stop parading as someone contesting the governorship election and allow those contesting to come forward.

“Now that APC has joined the league of factional parties, will he still dictate who should be flag bearer or toe the line of peace and reconciliation and allow party members across the state choose their governorship candidate for 2019? Or does he want APC to lose the election in favour of rivalry political parties?”
