The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State has welcomed the defection of Senator Magnus Abe from the Social Democratic Social gathering, SDP, again to the social gathering.
Abe had defected to SDP to run for governorship in Rivers State within the 2023 common election, following a disagreement between him and the previous Governor of Rivers State and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, after he was unable to clinch the APC ticket.
Abe, who represented the Rivers South-East senatorial district, later emerged because the governorship candidate of the SDP within the 2023 election.
Reacting to the information of the return of the previous social gathering stalwart, the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of APC in Rivers State, Tony Okocha, stated: “We welcome him with our full chest. We are going to work along with him. I’ve stated, and I repeat again and again, that what makes a celebration tick will not be a single particular person; it’s a complete lot of individuals. In different phrases, in politics, the extra the merrier.
“We grant that Magnus was on the founding of APC in Rivers State, and I can say that with none concern of contradiction. However no matter occurred, everyone knows. We had been on one half, towards an intransigent authorities or management of the APC—a clumsy management in APC.
“However I didn’t assume that the correct factor to do was to depart. So I remained. However he left, possibly to pursue an ambition, which all of us noticed him attempt to pursue beneath the SDP. I don’t assume that in present-day politics, one head is larger than ten. I don’t assume so.”
