Abuja – Ahead of the 2023 governorship election in Rivers State, the youths from Obio-Akpor, the Local Government Area of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike have backed Senator Magnus Abe to succeed the governor.
The youth, under the auspices of Rivers Voice of Freedom (RVF) inaugurated executive members of the group in the council with a mandate to rally support for Abe ahead of the general elections.
The group lamented that the internal wrangling in the All Progressives Congress (APC) denied Abe the right to contest the governorship position in the last general polls.
The Chairman of the ceremony, Chief Tony Okocha urged members of the group to remain steadfast in their support for Abe.
Okocha, a former Chief of Staff, Rivers State Government House, said: “As far as Obio/Apkor is concerned, we are fully in support of Sen. Magnus Abe.
“One thing that I am sure of is that nobody can stop the idea which time has come; our time has come.
“Do not be bothered by what you see, do not bother of course about the difficulties because without difficulties we may hardly see providence. As soon as providence comes, the difficulties will give way.
“I want to enjoin you, please remain steadfast, remain committed to this course at the end of the day, victory shall be ours.”
The President-General of the group, Dominic urged the newly inaugurated executive members to always abide by the principles of Senator Abe such as all-inclusiveness and politics without violence.
Precise Post recalls that Senator Magnus Abe’s emergence as the All Progressives Congress candidate in Rivers to square up with Nyesom Wike of Peoples Democratic Party was thwarted by the crisis in the party occasioned by the rift between Senator Abe and the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
