Former group Executive Director of Sahara Grouo, Tonye Cole has emerged as the consensus governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State.
His emergence followed a meeting by party leaders, late Friday night with all 10 apsirants from the Riverine region of the State in attendance.
Sources said the Minister of Transportation Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was also in attendance at the meeting.
Tonye Cole is believed to be a close ally to the minister of transportation.
He was chosen as the consensus candidate of the party in 2019 governorship election before the court judgement that ordered that APC be removed from the ballot.
