The Minister for Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has hit out at a Senator representing Rivers South East, Magnus Abe.
The former Rivers State Governor called Abe a hypocrite and also disowned him, stating that he could never have such a person as a follower.
Abe, who was at the APC secretariat last week said that Amaechi was his leader
The minister rejected this claim

“I am not Magnus Abe’s leader. Abe has long left me and the political family that is largely responsible for his rise and fame in politics,” he said.
Amaechi added: “How can I be Abe’s leader when he and the minions sponsored by him (Abe), privately and publicly abuses, insults, cast aspersions etc on me, my wife and members of my family, daily? Is that how a follower treats his Leader?
“It’s cheap and indeed shameful political sophistry for Abe to stand in the APC secretariat and deceitfully say I am his Leader, while all he has done, both privately and publicly in recent times is to undermine me, the APC and desecrate the APC in Rivers State. As a matter of fact, it is indeed very doubtful if Senator Abe is still in the APC. He mouths APC but his actions belie his words and clearly tell a different story.”
“Such a hypocritical, devious character cannot be my follower. I am not his Leader,” Amaechi concluded
