Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, former representative of Rivers South-East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, has revealed that plot by the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, to stop the election of Barrister Worgu Boms as National Vice Chairman South-South, at the national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on March 26 has been uncovered.
Abe, in a statement in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, by his media aide, Parry Saroh Benson, alleged that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has been shopping from Court to Court looking for a Judge that will grant him an injunction to stop Worgu Boms from contesting in the election.
Senator Abe wondered why those who profess to be democrats would not allow the people to have a say in a democracy.
He alleged that the minister is also planning to send people to Abuja to protest at the APC national secretariat.
Abe declared: “We are aware that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has been shopping for a court order, an injunction to stop Barrister Worgu Boms from contesting as National Vice Chairman, South-South at the forthcoming APC National Convention in Abuja.
“He is also planning to send people to demonstrate at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja as part of his campaign to stop Barrister Worgu Boms.
“We feel that those who profess to be democrats should allow the people to have a say in a democracy.
“They should take their matter to the convention and let the delegates decide”.
