The crisis rocking the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) may be close to its end as indications emerging from top party loyalists of both factions on Monday night showed that reconciliation is near.
This is following a proposed high-powered meeting aimed at reconciling aggrieved party members at the presidential villa on Tuesday, 30th October, 2018.
The rift which has caused so much rancour and acrimony within the party, attracted the attention of the President who is the leader of the party after his visit to the state for the commissioning of the Port Harcourt International Airport.
The minister of transportation and leader of the party in the state was missing during the commissioning ceremony’
The reconciliation meeting which is going to be chaired by President Mohammadu Buhari is scheduled to hold at the presidential villa by 8pm, theportcitynews gathered.
The minister, on Saturday, insisted that the party must win Rivers State come 2019, lending credence to the upcoming reconciliatory efforts.
Recall that the crisis which has rocked the party after the May congresses led to major bickering of words due to the clash of interests between the minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Magnus Abe, the senator representing Rivers South East senatorial district in the National Assembly.
It also led to several court rulings with the Supreme Court ruling on October 22 against the congresses and primaries conducted by the party in the state.
From the recent call for a reconciliation meeting, top supporters of both factions confided in Theportcitynews that they believe the decision would be the best and that all factions will abide by it in order to win the forthcoming 2019 elections in Rivers State.
