| Senator Magnus Abe, |
By Mcdonald Onu
Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Chief Eze Chukwumeka Eze, has said the chances of former Rivers
South-East Senator, Magnus Abe, to get the guber ticket of the APC for the 2023
elections has been impeded by necessary estoppel arising from his very many
treacherous acts of betrayal and anti-party engagements since 2015 till date.
Reacting to
comments credited to Abe in a recent interview with Channels Television, where
the ex-Lawmaker categorically stated that he can emerge Rivers Governor in 2023
without the support of his estranged benefactor - the Minister of
Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, Chief Eze said such wishful thought
can only be rested on the tripod of the figment of Abe’s imagination, stressing
that his fantasy fiction has a tenuous grasp on reality and thus, void.
In a
statement made available to media houses in Port Harcourt, the former National
Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP), said
Abe’s inclination to clinch the party’s ticket and win at the polls without the
support of the leadership and members of the Rivers APC beats ones imagination
and aligns with the general proposition which pegs Abe as a hypocritical
opportunist and self-professed democrat who is grossly bereft of knowledge of
the mechanics of a democratic process.
“With the
confidence he spoke, one wonders whether Abe has schemed to usurp leadership
and arrogate to himself and his few friends the responsibilities of party
members of electing candidates to fly the party’s flags against the tenets of
democracy, during the 2023 elections.”
Whatever be
the case, Chief Eze reminded Sen. Abe that one key strategy of winning an
election especially in a democratic clime, is to get the support of majority of
members of the party and ultimately the electorates who reserve the right to
make choices at the polls according to preference and not through the
anti-people schemes and undemocratic tactics and methodologies which he prefers
and has plotted to deploy.
Recall that a
few days ago, the Rivers State Chairman of the People’s Democratic
Party, Amb. Desmond Akawo, held a meeting with members of Sen. Abe’s
political group where a deal was sealed to continue to use the courts to
perpetuate instability in the Rivers APC, as a strategy contrived to outwit the
party to enable the PDP coast to victory effortlessly once again.
The horrible
revelation was made by Abe’s friends - Tonte Amachree and Kelvine Okechukwu,
both of who among others, attended the said meeting held at the residence of a
former Rivers Justice Commissioner, Worgu Boms.
Chief Eze
however assured that the confidence of Sen. Abe, the People’s Democratic Party
and other conflict entrepreneurs and allies, in the menacing schemes in the
Rivers State Judiciary to unjustly hunt the Rivers State Chapter of the All
Progressives Congress ahead of 2023 will fail.
While calling
on Judges in the state to be courageous enough to protect the integrity of
judiciary and the justice system by resisting every offer from wrongdoers to
pervert justice, Eze stressed that dragging the judiciary into the dirty waters
of partisan politics ahead of 2023 as was also the case in 2015/19, will
definitely weaken the institution and further wane public confidence in the
Nigerian judicial system.
The party
Chief called on Abe to engage in a more productive ventures rather than waste
his time and energy on the Governorship of the state which in all honesty
should and in fact has been set aside for the riverine people in line with the
principle of rotation and good brotherhood, emphasizing further that his
anti-party activities since 2015 place a hurdle on him from party engagements
as morality restrains one from benefiting from his own wrongs.
