Rivers 2023: Despite losing APC ticket, Abe insists he will contest guber poll

Senator Magnus Abe

Senator Magnus Abe says nothing can stop him from contesting the 2023 governorship election in Rivers State despite losing out at the primaries of the All Progressives Congress in the State.

Lagos-based business man, Tonye Cole emerged winner in the governorship primaries.

Abe, however, disagreed with the result of the primaries, which he had said was flawed.

Addressing his supporters in his hometown Bera in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State on Sunday, Abe insisted that his “name will be on the ballot” in 2023.

He, however, did not name the platform on which he will contest the governorship election.

He said “At this point in Rivers State, can we go and hire somebody that we don’t know to come and be the governor of our state?

“That is why I will be on the ballot. Because Rivers State people know me, they know what to expect. They know that we would run a government that will take care of you”.

The former Rivers South East senator also congratulated the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Ameachi and President of Belema Oil, Jackrich Tien for their courage to take part in the APC presidential primaries.
