Ogonis will reject APC at the polls if Amaechi stops Abe- MOSOP

The People of Ogonis will reject APC at the polls if Amaechi stops Abe. The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) alleged that there are attempts by Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi to stop the governorship ambition of Senator Magnus Abe.

 

Elder Bari-ara Kpalap, the Spokesperson for the MOSOP elders declared this recently in Port Harcourt.

 

He said Amaechi is plotting to impose a riverine person as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State.

 

He warned that all the four local councils in Ogoni would reject the APC at the polls, if Amaechi does not dump his plan.

 

Kpalap recalled that it was agreed at a meeting in 2014 at the Government House, that an Ogoni should be supported for governorship after the 2015 elections.

 

He said the meeting followed the failure of the APC to allow an Ogoni indigene to contest the 2015 governorship poll, which, he alleged, was spearheaded by Amaechi.

He said: “Having earlier agreed to, and reassured Ogoni leaders at the meeting of his support for the Ogoni governorship drive, the U – turn demonstrates crass double – standard and unreliability. It is also a devious stab to pitch the Ogoni against our riverine brothers.
