Rivers 2023: “We don’t want a distant governor” – Magnus Abe

Rivers APC governorship hopeful, Sen. Magnus Abe has accused Presidential hopeful, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi of trying to sell the soul of Rivers State.

Abe, made this known during a meeting in Okrika local government area, few days ago.

Part of his statement reads,

“We are here to inform you that the soul of our dear State is at stake. The red flag is up, hence danger is looming. We can’t sell the soul of Rivers State.

“Tonye Cole bought our transformers, the Olympia hotel. If he comes back, they will sell the entire State. The Minister started the process of his imposition for the second time, by scheming out those who worked with him, only to go and bring for the second time a person from Lagos to come and govern us.

“I urge you to stand with me against the conspiracy against our State. Tonye Cole does not know Rivers State, and Rivers State does not know him. We don’t want a distant governor. If Amaechi wants him to be our governor, he should first of all return all our property Amaechi sold to him, while in government.
