A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Magnus Abe has expressed that the party would lose the 2023 governorship election in the state if it does not put its house in order.
He stated that the party should not expect a different result while doing things the same way it did in 2019.
Abe who disclosed this in a chat with journalists said the party in the state has lost its bearing and is not in a position to win elections.
“The party having lost bearing in the state, should not expect a different result than the loss it got in the 2019 Rivers governorship if it goes into next year’s election the way things stands.”
Abe reiterated his stand to be on the ballot in next year’s governorship election, propelled by Project SMA2023.
According to him, “Project SMA 2023 is a partnership with the ordinary Rivers people, that takes their interest and their own future into consideration. Not everybody is going to be a commissioner, local government chairman, a minister, not everybody is going to be a senator. But everybody wants to be safe, to have a roof over his head, be respected in whatever they are doing.
“Everybody wants to prosper, be able to have their children to have opportunities as they grow up in life. So the most important things that we all need and desire are common to all of us, regardless of our stations and all these are provided by money.
“So if we are serious about building a society that works, we must be able to discuss how we create an environment in which ordinary people can make money and be able to prosper within that society. That is what Project SMA is all about. How to create a government that would partner ordinary people to give them same opportunities that those who don’t like money have.”
