A former member of the
Nigerian senate Sen. Wilson Asinobi Ake has said that the people of Orashi
region will give Sen. Magnus Abe huge support in his bid to be governor of
Rivers state come 2019. Sen. Asinobi made this known when he spoke to newsmen
who sought his comment on the decision of Sen. Magnus Abe to declare for the
governorship position under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Sen. Ake who
represented Rivers West senatorial district from 2007 to 2015 said Sen. Abe
remains the best candidate to fly the flag of APC in Rivers state ahead of the
coming elections. He said the APC hierarchy in Rivers state are all disposed to
a Magnus Abe candidature when the time for the primaries comes. He said it is
wrong to say that the Senator representing Rivers East was heating up the polity
through his declaration stressing that the Senator does not need to get
clearance from anybody to enforce his fundamental right of seeking for the
office of the governor of Rivers state. ‘’what matters is that the people are
happy with him over his declaration for the position of Governor of Rivers
state’’. He said.
Sen. Ake urged Rivers
people not to relent in their support for Sen. Abe whom he described as the
best candidate for the Rivers Brick House come 2019. ‘’Sen. Magnus Abe is the
most experienced candidate for the position of Governor of Rivers State. His
credentials speak well of him and we must embrace such experience which he has garnered
over the years in his political career” Sen. Ake stressed.
He also stated that he
was going to mobilise the people of Orashi region to support Sen. Abe who he
said will bring the dividends of democracy to the generality of the people of
not only the Orashi region but the state at large.
