A Rivers State Governorship aspirant under the All
Progressives Congress, Sen. Magnus Abe has declared that no “amount of gang up
can change the will of the people of the State”.
The Senator made the declaration in Okrika Local Government
Area of the State while addressing his supporters during the inauguration of
BATS Vanguard in the LGA on Sunday.
Sen. Abe was responding to the endorsement of Lagos State
businessman, Tonye Cole as the consensus governorship candidate of the APC.
Abe noted that the Rivers people cannot be enslaved by
anyone.
He advised his supporters to brace up for the fight ahead,
which he said would not be easy.
In his words, “let me assure you all that the road ahead
will not be easy. Challenging the powers that have been established will not be
easy, but you have the power, you have the capacity, you have the audacity if
you’re willing to stand up and fight for what you believe.
“We are not afraid, I know that no amount of gang-up can over take the will of Rivers people if we make up our mind.
“I have said before and I want to say it again, Rivers
people have never been slaves to anybody and nobody no matter the amount of
money you have, nobody can enslave us here in Rivers State. We can chart our
own destiny.
“We are having an election and people are already bringing
in their partner; you all should look for your own partners so you can enjoy
the dividends of a good leadership when the time comes and that is the reason I
am here today to tell you that I am ready to serve you and I pledge that my
kind of government will make sure you eat before I eat”.
Also speaking, the former Attorney-General of Rivers state,
Wogu Boms said the endorsement of Tonye Cole as the consensus governorship
candidate of the party will not work.
“Do not tell me anything; I know everything, we experimented
with Dakuku, we failed spectacularly, we experimented with Tonye Cole, he could
not even enter the ballot, we used Awara, we failed woefully again, now we
still want to experiment with Tonye Cole again, it will not work,” he said.
