The factional side of the All Progressive Congress APC led by Emeka Beke-led in Rivers State, has accused the acting chairman Tony Okocha of trying to force the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi out of the party.
The Beke faction said Okocha’s aim and intentions was behind his attacks on Amaechi lately.
On Monday Insight Media reported that Okocha described Amaechi as a failed politician who could not attract any project to Rivers State during his time as Minister of Transportation.
However, Spokesman of the faction, Darlington Nwauju has urged APC stakeholders including National Chairman to query Okocha’s decision to destroy other people’s reputations to gain political relevance.
In a statement issued in Porthacourt, Nwauju said: “Why has former Governor Amaechi’s name become the only currency that Tony Okocha and his group can use for their political trade by batter?
“The only reason why Tony Okocha is doing everything possible to construct a gulf in the APC family is to vex the original stakeholders of the party in the state like Amaechi and force him out of a political party he laboured to build in Rivers State.”
