Adams Oshiomhole's Victory Is A Victory For Democracy In Nigeria - Sen. Wilson Ake



Sen. Wilson Ake has described the emergence of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as a victory for democracy in Nigeria. Sen. Ake represented Rivers West senatorial District at the Red Chambers of the National Assembly between 2007 to 2015 and was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Labour and Productivity.

Sen. Ake said the massive support the former governor of Edo state received by the generality of party faithful has helped unite the party the more making it easier for the people of Nigeria to accept the party because of what they expect from him having distinguished himself in various positions he has found himself before now.

Sen. Ake urged the new party Chairman to ensure that he use his position to address the myriad of issues affecting the party especially in Rivers state which has been engulfed by impunity and disregard for rule of law. While describing the political crisis rocking the party in Rivers state as  a solvable issue, he urged the party hierarchy to ensure that justice prevails in the party in the state.

''The problem of the party in the state has to do with justice, respect for rule of law and internal democracy. If we can overcome this, the party will be on its way to electoral victory in the state come 2019. He stressed that justice is a precursor for progress and unity of the party
On the political aspiration of Sen. Magnus Ngei Abe, Sen. Ake said the Senator representing Rivers south east has distinguished himself and made himself easily acceptable to the people of the state because of his accessibility and the way he has carried himself in the various positions he has been. He said Sen. Magnus Abe aside having the support of the structure of the party in the state, has all it takes to garner support for his ambition which will reflect on the chances of the party to clinch victory.

''Aside the general appeal he has among the generality of the people of the state, he has the experience that is needed to win the elections and having transverse both the legislative and executive positions since the advent of the present democracy in the country as member of the House of Assembly, Commissioner, Secretary to the State Government and now Senator of the Federal Republic, he has gotten all the experience that is needed to make the state forward from what we are witnessing'' he said

Sen. Ake while reacting to the question that has to do with the spate of killings in the country, urged the president to do more. He also called on Nigerians to eschew politics and give the president the support that is needed to win the war against violence and insurgencies across the country.
