The Senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Magnus Abe, has said that the crisis which engulfed the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, will be resolved soon.
Abe in a statement by his media aide, Parry Saroh Benson, which was made available to Theportcitynews.com on Saturday, also said that no one can stop President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid in next year’s general election.
This is coming 24 hours after the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, handed the state’s gubernatorial flag to Abe’s rival, Tonye Cole, during the flag-off of president Mohammadu Buhari’s re-election campaign at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo on Friday.
He commended the leadership of the APC in Akwa-Ibom and the immediate past Governor of the State, Senator Godswill Akpabio for their efforts in ensuring the success of the event.
The Senator also commended the people of Akwa-Ibom for the hospitality they displayed in ensuring that the event was successful.
He said, “I want to congratulate all members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the successful launch of our Presidential Campaign in the country yesterday (Friday).
