The All
Progressives Congress Senator representing Rivers South East constituency,
Magnus Abe, has claimed the Minister of Transportation and Director General of
the Buhari Campaign Organisation, Rotimi Amaechi, humiliated him by telling him
not to contest in the presence of his wife.
The
Interview magazine reports that Abe said Amechi’s actions may hurt the party
badly in the forthcoming elections.
He also
accused Amaechi of running a one-man show.
Abe said,
“My grievances with the transportation minister has nothing to do with him
supporting me or not. I have told him clearly that he is free to support who he
wants. My disagreement with him is that he said I should not run, and I said I
would run.”
The lawmaker
added, “To come to my house, call me in front of my wife and tell me not to try
contesting was the height of it. I said no, I would not accept, I would
contest.”
