The never-ending crises rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC), especially in River State may bring an ugly end of the career of the former governor of the state and current minister for Transport Rotimi Amaechi as signs emerge that the powers that be at the presidential villa are been nudged to ease him out of office.
Indications to the fact that Amaechi’s presence and what is happening in River state is irritating power brokers in the country emerged Monday when a controversial APC Lagos chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, gave the warning that Amaechi is embarrassing both President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC.
He said, through his popular Facebook page that the endless war in River state APC has weakened the party in the state as well as posing a danger to it at the national level.
Joe Igbokwe, currently the Special Adviser for Drainage and Water Resources to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, wrote on the wall of the Facebook page that “HON MINISTER ROTIMI AMAECHI SHOULD GO HOME AND STOP THESE ‘APC’ BOYS AND GIRLS IN RIVERS STATE FROM EMBARRASSING APC NIGERIA. RIVERS STATE IS BEING RULED BY PDP AND THAT IN ITSELF IS ANOTHER EMBARRASSMENT. WE CANNOT TAKE THIS SHIT ANY LONGER.”
His position was apparently in response to the statement by Amaechi supporters in the state who on Monday publicly threatened to ‘burn down River State and completely destroy it,” if any court give ruling against the interest of the former governor on the lingering leadership crisis of the party in the state.
Igbokwe said, “He (Amaechi) may be compelled to drop his position if he cannot call you fake APC members to order even when you could not deliver a single Counselor in that due selfish sense of superiority and imposing some fake and inordinate power you do not have.
“It is this kind of political stupidity that led Wike to dislodge you fake Buharists in Rivers. Meaningless bravado, selfishness, self importance, hustling tendencies with nothing to put on the table is the real problem, too much noise from Rivers,” Igbokwe who is said to be very close to APC national leader and former Lagos state governor Ahmed Bola Tinubu wrote.
