The Director-General of the Tonye Cole campaign, Hon. Chidi has apologised to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Emiratco Post reported earlier that Llyod, an ally of the leader of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, had accused President Muhammadu Buhari of turning against the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State.
And in a swift reaction, Senator Magnus Abe, representing Rivers South East, had called on Amaechi and his men to leave Buhari out of what is happening to the party in the State.
However, in a statement he issued in Port Harcourt on Friday, Llyod
called on Abe to leave Amaechi out of his (Llyod) comments, adding that
he made the statement about Buhari out of anger.
He added, “As a stakeholder in the politics of Rivers State, I feel
sad that a collaboration of Senator Magnus Abe and Governor Wike and
their accomplices in the Rivers State Judiciary denied us so much in
power structure of Rivers State.
“Whereas, it is an incontrovertible fact that Magnus Abe was
collecting huge sums of money and a landcrussier jeep, including payment
of legal fees, from Governor Wike to pull the rug off the feet of the
APC, it is even more annoying that Magnus Abe did everything under the
sun to stop President Buhari from being re-elected.
“It is on record that when we were working round the clock to ensure
we re-elected President Buhari, Magnus Abe addressed a team of 23
Coordinators across the 23 LGAs in his camp to go to their LGAs and
instruct their supporters to vote for Atiku instead President Buhari and
they did.
“Every true Nigerian will agree with me that President Buhari’s
emergence and subsequent re-election is the best thing that has ever
happened to Nigeria. I am a full supporter of President Buhari and I am
doing that without regrets.
“My statement may have sounded harsh, I regret it and take responsibility for that. I am sorry.“I spoke in anger because of the collusion of INEC and Wike in Rivers
State Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections.”
