Senator Magnus Abe has declared that nobody can push him out of the All Progressives Congress (APC) nor play politics without him in Rivers State.
The former lawmaker representing Rivers South-East senatorial district made this assertion while addressing APC stakeholders in Bera community in Gokana Local Government Area of the state.
According to him: “There is nobody in Nigeria, there is nobody in Rivers State, who would say there is no APC in Gokana. Can anybody say that? And you can also see that because of the love that my people have shown to me, because of the love and respect that Ogoni people have shown me, it is now clear to the whole of Nigeria, to the whole of Rivers State that, it would be impossible, I repeat the word impossible, to do the politics of APC here in Rivers State without you and me.”
Abe while trying to extinguish the worries of people, explained that the party “belongs to all of us, no matter your power, money, without the people you cannot do politics, you are the people.”
Speaking further, he said: “I came here today, to tell you that the National said we should be patient. We have been patient; continue to be patient. Let us wait; when they make their decision, we will know, if they fail to take a decision after everything they have said, they would also explain to you and we’ll know. But, nobody should shake.”
“The voice of the people is the voice of God, consistently, the people have been clear that what is happening in APC in Rivers State is wrong. Everybody, committee and panel that have looked at the issues objectively, had said that what is happening here is wrong.
“All we need is those that would have the courage to fix what is wrong so that the party can move on. If that is done, the party will move on, success would be ours.
“So, remain resolute, don’t shake, don’t fear, anybody that knows where he or she is going would not be afraid when people push you because you know where you are going.”
