PORT HARCOURT – Recent development indicates that all is not well within the APC in Rivers state. Key leaders of the party in the state are said to be at loggerheads over the 2019 governorship election.

The crisis in the party is over the control of the party’s machinery and is strictly between the minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi and the senator representing Rivers south east senatorial district, Magnus Abe.

While Amaechi, who is regarded as the leader of the party in the state and wields a strong influence in the party, Abe is said to be gaining grounds politically in the state. Amaechi who usually has the final say over who gets what in the party is said to be facing a herculean task assertting his authority.
