A faction of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Rivers State led by Igo Aguma, has suspended the Transport Minister and former Governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi, from the party.

BIGPENNGR.COM understands this new twist in the crisis rocking the state chapter of APC, came few days after the Amaechi’s camp had at the weekend declared the suspensions of Senator Magnus Abe, Igo Aguma, Livingstone Wechie, Wogu Boms and all caretaker committee leaders inaugurated by Aguma.

Both Ameachi and Abe camps have entangled in crisis of wit over who controls the soul of the APC ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Aguma in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Livingstone Wechie, also said the APC had written to the Rivers State Electoral Commission (RISIEC) to declare its readiness to partake in the forthcoming local government election in the state.

Wechie said the decision to suspend Amaechi from the party was taken at an extraordinary Executive meeting presided over by Aguma in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

He said the meeting was well-attended by the statutory executive members, who participated physically and virtually to take major decisions affecting the party.
