BEVERLY HILLS, August 06, (THEWILL) – The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Chief Felix Obuah, has offered to settle the faceoff between the former governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi and his bosom friend and enstranged political ally, Senator Magnus Abe.
Abe served as Information commissioner during Amaechi’s eight years administration, but both are now at each other’s jugular, over who contests the 2019 governorship in the state on the platform of All Progressives Congress, APC, as Amaechi, now Transportation Minister, is said to be opposed to the former’s ambition.
Reiterating his resolve to settle the rift between the two political leaders, Obuah said inasmuch as he belonged to a different political party, he would not relent in seeking ways to broker peace between the duo, who he said, “are still dear to me”.
The PDP Chairman, who spoke in Port Harcourt through his media aide, Mr. Jerry Needam, expressed fears that the rift was taking what he regarded as, “irreconcilable dimension”.
“It is becoming too embarrassing for the two APC leaders to be insulting themselves, both on air and in print, and by extension, the Rivers people,” he noted.
