A former Senator representing Rivers South-East senatorial district in the National Assembly, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, has officially declared his interest to contest the 2023 governorship election in Rivers State.

Abe, who disclosed this on Saturday during the inauguration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Vanguard for Ward 4, 5 and 6 in the Gokana local government area of the State, said he would contest on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
