I Returned To APC To Support President Tinubu’s Government – Senator Magnus Abe

The Rivers State Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the 2023 election, Senator Magnus Abe has come out to formally announce his return to the All Progressives Congress.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he returned to the All Progressives Congress to join other well-meaning Nigerians to support the government of President Bola Tinubu, and to also ensure Rivers people are able to be part of the development at the centre.

He added that he loves being back at the APC because he is a founding member of the party.

His words, “The new year offers a lot of opportunities and hopes for all Nigerians and indeed all Rivers people. My message has been consistent that we all need to come together; work together to be able to harvest these expectations for our people.

So basically I called my people here today to intimidate them of some of the ongoing issues and also to let them know that we are returning to the All Progressives Congress to join other well-meaning Nigerians to support the government of President Bola Tinubu. And to do our own best to also make sure that Rivers people are able to be part of the development at the centre and to also carry the state along in what we are doing.

We are in the APC because we are founding members of this party and we are grassroots supporters of the President. It is proper that we are in the party to continue to give that full support to the President’s developmental agenda.

My coming to the APC is to work together with other members of the party to ensure growth, inclusion, prosperity and progress for Rivers State and Rivers people.

If we all have the same mind, we will be party to achieving that. So, I think that this is a new year and everybody who wants the APC to move forward in Rivers State need to realise that the APC cannot be a personal estate of anybody.

We are all very strong characters. There is none of those people, myself, Rotimi Amaechi, Nyesom Wike and Tony Okocha that is a walk over. But you will also agree that if all of us must come together, there should not be any other force in Rivers State that can stop us.

So, I believe that if we can find a common ground which we have all found in the APC definitely there is a space for everybody.”
