As the crisis rocking the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressive Congress continues with no end in sight, a group known as Good Governance Ambassadors of Nigeria (GOGAN) has blamed the lingering feud between the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi; and Senator Magnus Abe, the Senator representing Rivers South East Senatorial District in the National Assembly for the crisis.

He noted that such antics was not in the best interest of the party especially as it prepares for the forthcoming general elections.

He hinted that GOGAN, as a political pressure group with mandate to promote good governance, will ensure that the tenets of democratic practice are not abused.

Mene called on the two political leaders to close ranks and ensure that peace and genuine reconciliation return to the party.
