Magnus Abe, the governorship candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Rivers State, says the State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) is filled with impunity more than the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Abe cited the impunity as the basic reason he moved to SDP.
Speaking during rally in Bomu, Gokana Council of the state while receiving some defectors from other political parties, the said that contrary to public opinion, the impunity in APC was way more.
He said: “We complained about impunity in PDP, we moved to APC, the impunity in APC is more than the one in PDP, we moved to SDP.
“We complained that every time we vote, after we finished voting, it is only the lives of those in government that change, those of us that are not in government, our lives continue to get worse while the people in government are getting better and you know that all of us cannot be in government at the same time.”
