Almost two years ahead of the 2019 governorship election, former governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has declared war on his ally and senator from the state, Magnus Abe, vowing to frustrate the former’s gubernatorial ambition.

Daily Sun gathered that the minister has boasted that he would frustrate moves by Abe to get the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, accusing him of treachery and disloyalty.

Sources revealed that at a meeting Amaechi held with APC leaders from the four local government areas in Ikwerre area of the state last Saturday, he vowed to use everything at his disposal to stop Senator Abe.

It was gathered that the APC select stakeholders’ meeting convened by Amaechi held at the Port Harcourt GRA home of Chief Andrew Uchendu, where party leaders from Obio-Akpor, Port Harcourt City, Emohua and Ikwerre Local Government areas attended, Amaechi accused Abe, who was not invited, of being a traitor.
