President of the Nigerian Senate,
Senator Bukola Saraki has called on leaders of the All Progressives Congress,
APC in Rivers state to respect Senator Magnus Abe.
Senator Abe is in a running
battle with the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi over the gubernatorial
candidate ticket for the 2019 election in Rivers state.
Senator Abe’s ambition has
strained the relationship between leaders of the APC in the state who are now
sharply divided.
Meanwhile, during a Thanksgiving
reception organized by Senator Abe, the Senate President said Amaechi would not
have become a Minister without Abe’s influence.
Saraki who described Abe as a
humble lawmaker said the Nigerian Senate is solidly behind the Rivers
politician.
The Senate President also
condemned the rally organized by the Minister, saying it is uncalled for.
According to him, “Senator Magnus
Abe is a humble man and he exhibits that in his way of life.
“He is a loyal party man and I
can tell you he played a huge role in the formation of the APC. I say this
because we were in the 7th Senate together when the merger process started.
“If you look around you will see
Senators from all the 6 geo-Political zones of this country and as the
President of the Nigerian Senate I can tell you that this is the first time
this is happening.
“Magnus Abe played a huge role
during the selection of Ministers. You will not be in the Federal Cabinet
without Abe. I know what he did.
“To now hear that another rally
is holding somewhere else is not good at all. What is bad is. I thank God the
Chairman of Party (Chief Davies Ibyiamu Ikanya) is here. You have a lot of work
to do.”
People know Amaechi for confusion and bringing peoples' down, pls tell him the truth, this is not Jonathan be carefull
